GSA Today, GSA Bulletin, and Geology are also available twice a year on the GSA Journals on Compact Disc . The Society has six regional sections throughout North America. These sections have their own management boards and conduct their own yearly meetings. Affiliation with a section is free for GSA members. Twelve specialty divisions , which any member may join, generally meet at the Annual Meeting of the Society.
Most divisions have their own newsletters, which are published at various times throughout the year.
Twenty-three specialized Associated Societies often meet in conjunction with the GSA Annual Meeting and assist in developing the scientific program, thus ensuring a broad range of topics. In 1980, the Geological Society of America Foundation was established to receive and administer gifts in support of GSA's mission. As an independent, tax-exempt organization, the Foundation accepts gifts by check or credit card, wire transfers, stock, and by trusts or bequests to the Society's programs. Since its inception, the Foundation has funded a portion of the historic Decade of North American Geology project and several education and outreach programs. The Foundation also contributes to the GSA research grants program, and supplies matching student travel grants for each of GSA's six sections.
