About Us
Founded in 1965, the Great Lakes Planetarium Association (GLPA) is a professional organization dedicated to supporting astronomy and space science education through planetaria. While we target our efforts toward professionals in the Great Lakes region of the United States, we welcome membership from anyone connected to the planetarium industry, regardless of where they call home. Our members work (or have worked) in various fields including public and private schools, universities, museums, and even as industry vendors. We support these professionals with publications, annual conferences, educational resources, and various other initiatives.
