At the forefront of sharing the excitement of the exploration of the universe for 120 years, the Astronomical Society of the Pacific is poised to use its networks and services to implement education and outreach programs for the 2009 International Year of Astronomy (IYA2009). The ASP is partnering with NASA, the AAS and other astronomy and education organizations on IYA2009 projects, and is developing signature programs for implementation-with the overarching goal of bringing together scientists, educators and amateur astronomers in efforts to improve science education and science literacy through astronomy. The presentation will outline five major thrusts designed to serve the amateur astronomy community, formal educators, informal educators, the online community, and these communities in combination through IYA-related professional development, resources, and the facilitation of connections. The use of the proceedings of the IYA2009 Symposium in St. Louis in June, 2008 as an IYA2009 resource will be mentioned, and the ASP will encourage partners to work with the Society to help reach mutual goals and objectives for IYA2009 and beyond.
