It’s bound to be a memorable one, and not just because this is our first-ever gathering OFFICERS on a boat. I’m delighted that so many of you responded to this year’s “Agency and Action” theme. Kudos to all for authoring such interesting papers and comments, President and particular thanks to the 2009 program committee co-chairs, network reps and Julia Adams SSHA and Indiana University Conferences officers and staff for helping us Yale University (Sociology) collectively embark. This year’s four presidential panels honor the generative intellectual legacies of Vice President Charles Tilly and Louise Tilly, both so important to social science history and the Ann Orloff historical social sciences. The panels take place in tandem with the award of the Northwestern University (Sociology) first Tilly Prize for the Best Graduate Paper in Social Science History. Please join me at Saturday’s business meeting to mark the occasion, as well as to hear more about SSHA’s fortunes and applaud our other honorees. Treasurer Philip VanderMeer On behalf of all of us, I would like to thank the Rockefeller Archives and the Arizona State University (History) Charles Tilly and Louise Tilly Fund for Social Science History, which is administered on our behalf by the Social Science Research Council, for their generous support of graduate student travel grants. Graduate students are the future of SSHA, of Executive Director course, and we are extremely fortunate to have such enthusiastic partners in William C. Block supporting their scholarship. Cornell University (CISER) Have a marvelous meeting, and enjoy each other, Long Beach, and the Queen Mary. Past President Donna R.
