About the ESA
The ESA is a nonprofit professional society devoted to the advancement and improved understanding of electrostatics. The ESA was founded in 1970, when 30 scientists working in the field of electrostatic phenomena were invited by A. D. Moore, Vincent Schaefer and Bernard Vonnegut to an informal conference to discuss their interests. The conference was a great success, and the participants decided to continue this meeting on an annual basis. The Electrostatics Society of America was proposed and formally came into existence on August 17, 1970. The ESA often interacts with other organizations involved with electrostatic phenomena.
