I look forward to Letter many engaging and productive discussions throughout the next three days. As the public sector faces increasingly constrained resources, APPAM’s mission is to from the use research, analysis, and education to improve public policy and management. As we pursue our mission, we seek to focus on important policy questions, inform better deployment and management of public resources, and expand the participation of President practitioners and policymakers in APPAM to enhance the relevance and impact of our Elect work. This year’s conference features a variety of sessions, roundtables, and workshops in each policy area. Consistent with APPAM’s strategic plan, the conference introduces three cross-cutting themes to help expand integration across perspectives, disciplines, and policy areas. Sessions attached to these cross-cutting themes offer dynamic and multidisciplinary perspectives. Look for the special cross-cutting logo throughout this program that indicates one of these sessions This year’s conference also features four symposia closely tied to our theme. Two concurrent symposia scheduled for Thursday at 4:45 p.m. focus on the relationship between research and the policymaking process. On Friday, symposia scheduled for 2:45 p.m. will focus on recent topics in health care and education. We welcome a dis- tinguished group of speakers this year and are looking forward to exciting discussions related to these topics. Other highlights of the conference include the Welcome Reception on Thursday and the Friday reception in honor of our president, Sandra Archibald, directly following her Presidential Address. Later on Friday evening, we invite both student and senior scholars alike to join us in a reception that offers informative discussions on effective pathways to high-impact public policy careers, as well as an opportunity to network with colleagues. Based on feedback and prior conferences, we’ve changed the awards breakfast to a luncheon so more people can attend. We’ve also included lunch breaks allowing time for people to network and reflect onwhat they’ve learned, or eat and catch up on e-mail. Creating this year’s conference was challenging given the high volume of excellent submissions we received and the space constraints we faced in organizing the program. I would like to offer my sincerest thanks to Tara Sheehan, APPAM’s exec- utive director; Jocelyn Mason, program and conference manager; and the program committee, whose names are listed on page 6, for their hard work in developing an exciting schedule. Thank you for coming, I look forward to meeting and speaking with many of you in the coming days. Enjoy the conference!
