The APPAM Presidency The president-elect is elected every year at the APPAM Annual Business Meeting to be the convenor of the next fall research conference. In that capacity, the president-elect is responsible for selecting the conference theme, recruiting the conference Program Committee, and coordinating the acceptances and rejections of proposals for the conference program. The president-elect also recruits the plenary session speaker(s). The president elect serves on the APPAM Executive Committee and Policy Council. Upon completing the year, the president-elect automatically becomes APPAM's president. The president chairs the Executive Committee and the Policy Council, is the senior decision maker for the Association and serves as its leading spokesperson and representative. The president also oversees the work of the executive director. The immediate past president of APPAM serves for an additional year on the APPAM Executive Committee and Policy Council in order to provide for greater continuity in the leadership of the Association. The APPAM Vice Presidency APPAM has two vice presidents who serve staggered, two-year terms. The senior vice president is the chair of the Committee on the Fall Research Conference, a committee created in 2004 to work over the longer term on enhancing the vitality of the meetings. The junior vice president serves as vice chair of the committee. Both vice presidents may be called upon to serve in various capacities in the absence of the president or president-elect, and both serve on the APPAM Executive Committee and Policy Council. Every year the Annual Business Meeting elects a new junior vice president.
