The Central PA Local Section of the ACS extends from about Altoona in the west, through Huntingdon and State College, to Lock Haven in the east.

The section comprises about 500 members, about 50% of whom are associated with one of the four-year colleges or universities in our area. Here is a complete demographic scan from 2019 of our section.

Our Bylaws, adopted in 2010 (rev. 2023), are the rules we go by. These may be changed at any time by a vote of the membership.
