AMATYC Groups: AMATYC's new web site has a feature called Groups. You can explore group pages, get to know one another, contribute to a conversation, share your expertise, and learn from others. Online community groups bring together people via the web site in one place with similar interests or purposes. Some groups are private and can be joined by invitation only; other groups are available to all members.

GROUP FEATURES
