GOVERNANCE
The Aspen Center for Physics is operated for scientists by scientists with only a very small administrative staff. It operates with a staff expense of less than 15% of its budget because of the incredible effort put in by its volunteer Members, Trustees, and Officers who donate hundreds of hours each year to keep the science at the Center at the forefront of physics.
