11/06-present Founder and Executive Director, Association for Integrity and Responsible Leadership in Economics and Associated Professions (AIRLEAP)

AIRLEAP is a newly formed nonprofit association of professionals in economics and related fields, which has been incorporated in the State of Virginia since January 2007. Its mission is to promote integrity and responsible leadership in economics, through educational discussions and research. As the Executive Director of the organization, I am responsible for its management, and I also serve as an ex officio member of its Board of Directors.

The association is neutral and nonpartisan with regard to ideologies and schools of thought, and seeks membership and support from as broad an audience as possible among economists and associated professionals in academia, government, nonprofit organizations, and the private sector. As a new association, AIRLEAP is actively recruiting members through a variety of means, such as contacting scholars who have written articles and books on AIRLEAP-related topics.

AIRLEAP holds monthly meetings in the Washington, DC area, has about 20 active members, and maintains and further develops the website http://www.airleap.org. Its members are currently preparing papers on integrity and responsible leadership in economics, which they expect to present at economic conferences. Work is also underway for the publication of working papers and a journal.
