On August 18, NSTA President Pat Shane, Executive Director Francis Eberle, and 2009?010 Retiring President Page Keeley visited Beijing to begin a formal leadership exchange with the China Association for Children’s Science Instructors (CACSI), part of the government-led China Association of Science and Technology. A joint Sino-American forum was held in Beijing for the NSTA leadership delegation and Chinese science teachers and university faculty. After the forum, NSTA and CACSI formalized a collaboration between the two sister organizations. Each association appointed a liaison to communicate about common interests, provide information about conferences and activities, facilitate academic exchanges, and explore possible joint activities.
