How are the members of the Fall Conference Program Committee selected? Do the same people serve on the committee from year to year?
The APPAM president-elect appoints the Program Committee each year. The 25 to 30 members of the committee are selected because of their expertise in the topic areas of the conference, and two persons often are placed on the committee to review proposals in a large area like education or welfare. On average, 30% of the members of one years committee will serve in the next year. This overlap increases institutional memory and management experience to the proposal review process. Since 1999 very few persons have served for three consecutive years on the committee. The APPAM president-elect often recruits many members of the Program Committee from among the APPAM Policy Council. This enhances the role of the Council in the management of APPAMs most important annual event.
