ACSESS is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) support organization established by the American Society of Agronomy (ASA), Crop Science Society of America (CSSA), and Soil Science Society of America (SSSA). ASA, CSSA and SSSA, as the charter member organizations of ACSESS, envision that additional relevant organizations may wish to join ACSESS. Membership in ACSESS is open to organizations that are interested in enhancing synergies within the broad categories of agriculture, food, environment and natural resources while also coordinating and potentially consolidating professional activities such as the development of educational resources, public policy positions, industry standards, and/or information resources. ACSESS provides services for nonprofit scientific and professional organizations, such as publishing, meeting management, membership database support, certification and other educational programs, science policy activities and executive support. ACSESS will enhance the success of member organizations by providing services supporting the ongoing and future activities for member societies and by producing economies of scale for services not achieved by an individual organization. ACSESS will advance common goals and secure common interests in the fields of agriculture, food, environment and natural resources.
