I would have thought a good place to start would be the
Association of Science and Technology Centres (ASTC) they have a very active
mailing list and connections in all corners of the Sci Com world

Subject: [PSCI-COM] Science communication in America?
Hello
psci-commers
Do
we have any American Science Communicators on here? I've just moved to Denver
USA and want to find a network as useful as psci-com but in the USA. Any tips
about similar organisations/networks in the USA? Looking for equivalent
organisations to "sense about science" etc. I've
found a cafe scientifique but have not ventured there yet. Specifically
interested in Environment, Energy and Health.
Much
love,
Jenny!
PS
ill be back in a few years :)
