class="acsLeft" src="/files/images/about-society/mossy-soil-blanket-sq.jpg" />The Soil Science Society of America (SSSA) is a progressive international scientific society that fosters the transfer of knowledge and practices to sustain global soils. Based in Madison, WI, and founded in 1936, SSSA is the professional home for 6,000+ members and 800+ certified professionals dedicated to advancing the field of soil science. The Society provides information about soils in relation to crop production, environmental quality, forestry, ecosystem sustainability, bioremediation, waste management, urban uses, mining and reclamation, and across many closely related scientific disciplines and applied fields.</p> <p>SSSA supports its members and certified professionals by providing quality research-based publications, educational programs, certifications, and science policy initiatives via a Washington, DC office.</p> <p>Because of their common interests, SSSA, the <a href="https://www.agronomy.org">American Society of Agronomy</a>, and <a href="https://www.crops.org">Crop Science Society of America</a> share a working relationship. Each organization is autonomous with its own bylaws and governing boards of directors.聽The <a href="https://www.a-s-f.org" target="_blank">Agronomic Science Foundation</a> supports ASA, CSSA, and SSSA activities, programs, and projects.</p></p> </div> <div class="content1-repeater clearfix"> <h4 class="t-t:u" id="headline-resources">Resources</h4> <p><ul><li><a href="/files/about-society/sssa-strategic-plan.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>SSSA Strategic Plan 2024-2028</strong></a></li> <li><a href="/files/Governance/2024-sssa-election-results.pdf" target="_blank"><strong>2024聽SSSA Election Results</strong></a></li> <li><a href="/files/about-society/sssa-bylaws-2021.pdf" target="_blank">SSSA Bylaws</a></li> <li><a href="https://www.soils.org/about-society/financials">SSSA Financials (members only)</a></li> <li><a href="/about-society/history">SSSA History</a></li> <li><a href="/files/files/DEI/code-of-conduct.pdf">Code of Conduct </a>|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/soils-statement-of-ethics.pdf">Statement of Ethics</a> | <a href="/files/DEI/acs-dei-statement-2021.pdf">DEI Statement</a></li> </ul><ul></ul></p> </div> <div class="content1-repeater clearfix"> <h4 class="t-t:u" id="headline-leadership---governance">Leadership & Governance</h4> <p><ul><li><a href="/membership/committees/view/S003/members/">SSSA Board of Directors Roster</a></li> <li>SSSA Board of Directors Meeting Minutes: <ul><li>2024:聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-01182024-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Jan</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-02152024-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Feb</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-20240321-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Mar</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-20240418-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Apr</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-05162024-bd.pdf" target="_blank">May</a>聽| <a href="/files/about-society/minutes/s-20240614-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Jun</a>聽| <a href="/files/about-society/minutes/s-20240815-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Aug</a>聽| <a href="/files/about-society/minutes/s-20240919-bd.pdf">Sep</a>聽| <a href="/files/about-society/minutes/s-20241017-bd.pdf">Oct</a></li> <li>2023:聽<a href="/files/about-society/minutes/s-01192023-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Jan</a>聽|聽<a href="/files/about-society/minutes/s-02222023-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Feb</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-20230528-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Mar</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-04252023-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Apr</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-05302023-bd.pdf" target="_blank">May</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-06272023-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Jun</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-08222023-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Aug</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-09262023-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Sep</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-10292023-bd.pdf">Oct</a>聽|聽<a href="https://www.soils.org/files/about-society/minutes/s-20231128-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Nov</a>聽|聽<a href="/files/about-society/minutes/s-12192023-bd.pdf" target="_blank">Dec</a></li> </ul></li> <li><a href="/membership/committees/view/S001.1/members/history" target="_blank">SSSA Former Presidents Listing</a></li> <li>Board Discussion Boards (log-in): <a href="/discussion-boards/index.php?/forum/134-sssa-board-of-directors/" target="_blank">SSSA Board</a>聽&聽<a href="/discussion-boards/index.php?/forum/151-asa-cssa-sssa-asf-boards-of-directors/" target="_blank">ASA-CSSA-SSSA-ASF Board</a></li> </ul></p> </div> <div class="content1-repeater clearfix"> <h4 class="t-t:u" id="headline-sssa-executive-committee">SSSA Executive Committee</h4> <p><p>聽</p> <h4><img alt="Michael Thompson" class="acsLeft" src="/files/images/about-society/thompson-michael-200.jpg" />SSSA President</h4> <p>Michael L.
