Elected to Policy Council 2002-2006

The Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management (APPAM) aspires to be the leading professional organization dedicated to blending the talents of researchers, educators and practitioners in the production, dissemination and application of analysis bearing on public concerns. The Association is and aims to remain much more than an interdisciplinary umbrella. Through APPAM, public policy analysis and management will continue evolving toward an integrated field of study that supports the applied professions that address societal problems and opportunities.

Chair, Special Committee on Practitioners:
This committee is charged to develop recommendations over the 2002-3 period regarding how the Association includes practitioners in its activities. The committee is paying careful attention to several issues:

  • How APPAM should define practitioners.
  • How APPAM includes practitioners in the annual fall conference (and implications for the structure of sessions).
  • How APPAM includes practitioners in its governance.
