Academy Publications

All of The Academy’s publications are first generated by an individual member who then works intensively with a small committee on a specific topic. The resulting document is next given critical consideration by the entire membership and may be written many times before final version is completed. Finally, upon approval by a majority, the document is published as a paper and distributed to the profession. We are currently in the process of making these publications available as downloadable pdf files. As they become available, we will post them on this page. Adobe Acrobat Reader is required to open these files.
Please be patient as that process may take several minutes especially for those with slow internet connections. If you do not have adobe Acrobat Reader, you may download it for free at the Adobe web site.
