The Astronomical Society of the Pacific celebrates its 120th anniversary year in 2009. Through its long history, the Society has served scientists, amateur astronomers, educators of all types, and the public by communicating and advancing the science of astronomy even as our understanding of the universe has changed in remarkable ways. In recent years, the Society has put a special emphasis on astronomy education. And more recently, it has re-articulated its mission as one of advancing science literacy through engagement in astronomy. The presenter will explain what this means and how it presents new opportunities for the Society, astronomers, and astronomy educators to connect and support each other to achieve common goals in improving science literacy through the avenue astronomy provides.
