Save the date for the 2024 AGA Presidential Symposium, Biodiversity GenomicsOctober 6-9, 2024 at Granlibakken Tahoe, California
AGA Symposia are small meetings that provide excellent opportunities for cross-stage interaction, and the American Genetics Association is committed to supporting early-stage attendees.
The American Genetic Association has established the Robert K. Wayne Conservation Scholarship and Research Fund to support graduate students whose research directly benefits a threatened species. The AGA has 
provided an initial endowment to support the first $6000 scholarship (awarded to Kyle Jaynes in 2023), and welcomes donations from members of our community who wish to grow the impact of this Fund in Bob’s honor.

We adamantly oppose any forms of discrimination, and we enthusiastically support the dissemination of peer-reviewed scientific research results to other scientists and the public at large.
The Outstanding Student Paper Award for the best student paper published in AGA's Journal of Heredity includes a cash prize of $2,000.
The Fifth Global Invertebrate Genome Alliance meeting will be this fall in beautiful Cartegena, Colombia. Competitive student registration/travel vouchers sponsored by the Gordon & Betty Moore Foundation and the AGA.
Details will be available soon.
Six PhD students and four postdocs receive funding.
Two US workshops and one student-led Canadian conference received funding

The mission of the American Genetic Association is to encourage the study of comparative genetics and genomics, and to promote the application of genetic and genomic methods to the documentation, conservation, and management of organismal diversity. We are committed to accomplishing this mission together with the most inclusive group of members and contributors possible, unrestricted by race, gender, sexuality, religion, political affiliation, or background. We have worked and will continue to work to broaden participation in this field to reflect the diversity of our broader community. We adamantly oppose any forms of discrimination, and we enthusiastically support the dissemination of peer-reviewed scientific research results to other scientists and the public at large. If any of our members have ideas they would like to share on how we can further achieve this mission, without the influence of politics, we welcome them to do so by contacting your representatives in our society-- the officers and council members: http://www.theaga.org/council.htm
