<br>
One of our priorities at the Division of Nuclear Physics (DNP) is<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span>increasing DNP membership. The number of APS fellows inducted<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span>by the DNP and the number of DNP invited
sessions at the<span class="x_Apple-converted-space"> </span>April Meetings are determined by DNP membership numbers.<br>
<br>
We are making some progress. Here is a comparison of membership numbers for November 22, 2024 and July 3, 2024:</span></p>
