If you're not familiar with AnthroGroup, feel free to wander the site or even attend the next meeting! To join, all you need to do is come to a scheduled meeting, pay your dues, and talk to the secretary to get on the roster.
If you're already a regular attendee, you will find upcoming events and useful information on this site to increase your involvement with ongoing anthropological research.
AnthroGroup uses an officer structure, and keeps minutes for every meeting. The minutes can be found online (off to your left) for your convenience, and the officers can be contacted via e-mail.
