Welcome to the Website of the Alabama Section of Physics Teachers. We are a collaborator with AAPT and receive some support in travel for the state Section Representative, publicity for the Section and its meetings and projects. Section members are not required to be national AAPT members but it is strongly encouraged to further their advantages in the organization.  The national AAPT provides promotional physics materials for Section and State Science Association meetings. Join national HERE. 

This letter can be adapted to request support from your PTA, PTSA, Civic Organization, local business and more to join National AAPT.
