The Policy Council is APPAM's governing board and is responsible for setting policy and creating strategy for the Association. It currently consists of four elected cohorts serving staggered, four-year terms of office.
Ballots were sent to all APPAM members and voting was held December 18, 2023 through January 18, 2024. Please welcome our incoming Policy Council members. Thank you to all our members for voting.
Among the four person cohort for the Policy Council, one is a researcher in a non-academic setting; one is an institutional representative elected by the Committee of Institutional Representatives; and two are researchers in an academic setting. All will serve four-year terms.
The APPAM President-Elect is Ingrid Ellen of New York University, who will serve a one-year term concluding with his appointment to APPAM President following our 2024 Fall Research Conference. Her nomination came during the 2023 Fall Research Conference.
