Dear IAU Members,

The International Astronomical Union’s Professional-Amateur Astronomer
Working Group (Pro-Am Working Group) is working to connect
professional and amateur astronomers, with the aim of promoting research
collaborations, delivering workshops, and promoting and
facilitating the integration of professional astronomers within amateur
societies. Please visit our website for more information

The Working Group is now recruiting new members, and we encourage you to
join the group by completing a brief form at
https://forms.gle/2LJdVkN9dqh119bP7. Our next meeting is scheduled for
Thursday 3 October 2024 at 09:00 UTC, so please sign up
prior to that date if possible and we will email you the meeting link. If
you know others who may be interested, please share this
announcement with them as well.

At the end of this email we have included the four Sub-working Groups that
