on Earth and to work toward an understanding of sound- related issues at the international level. Although the ad hoc IYS committee will work closely with the NAS, they will also address sound more broadly, beyond the mission statement of the NAS. The ad hoc IYS committee will sup- port the IYS in a way that represents the interdisciplinary nature of acoustics. (Also note that this issue of Acoustics Today has three articles on noise and how it affects the health and well-being of humans and animals.)
Next year will be a great time for the ASA to fully commit to increasing noise awareness both within and beyond our Society. As the dedicated education and outreach coordi- nator, I will continue to support noise awareness outreach efforts for as long as I have the support of ASA members. If you would like to be involved with noise awareness ini- tiatives, please feel free to contact me via email (kjones@ acousticalsociety.org) or phone (516-576-2364).
