This year, AAPOR’s Webinars and Short Courses have continued to offer amazing learning opportunities on both hot topics and core areas in survey and public opinion research presented by top scholars and practitioners in our field! Our Online Education and Short Course Subcommittees are starting to work on the topics and speakers for our 2020 Webinars and Short Courses. Calls for both 2020 Short Courses and Webinars (with links to online submission forms) will be distributed in mid-July and proposals will be due in late summer. If you have an idea for a great Webinar or Short Course, please consider submitting a proposal. Submissions will need to include the proposed presenters, topic, and a brief description of what will be covered and what participants will learn.

Last year was my first back on Council in a while, so I could see with fresh eyes how much things have changed behind the scenes at AAPOR in the intervening years. I spent the year amazed at the sheer volume of work that these 15 volunteers – and the subcommittees and many other volunteers and staff – accomplishes for AAPOR members. The generosity, inspiration, and energy in AAPOR are remarkable and contagious. There is a lot to do this year, so I am counting on catching as much energy as possible from those around me!

If you are in Toronto this May, you can follow the cowbell to find Ashley Hyon. Ashley is one of the behind-the-scenes folks that keep the AAPOR conference running. She has served in a variety of roles – docent, judge, conference support. Most recently, she led the 2018 Speed Networking event in Denver. She said that it is a lot of work leading up to the conference, but the actual event – working with volunteers and the “infamous” cow bells – is so much fun, she agreed to do it again this year.
