AAPOR Spreads the Wealth
The shining jewel of AAPOR is its conferences. AAPOR Executive Council strives to select destinations that are accessible and will nicely accommodate the needs of the conference in terms of space and amenities. We have also over the years migrated to destinations that have excellent nearby restaurants, activities and culture. In 2019, AAPOR Executive Council reviewed and debated destinations for the 2021, 2022, and 2023 Conferences. A great many locations were considered and bids were garnered on multiple potential locations for each year.

Chapter Spotlight: PAPOR
PAPOR has had a busy, productive, and fun year! We just wrapped up our annual conference in San Francisco on December 6-7. It was a great event with a fantastic plenary with Scott Clement of the Washington Post and Katie Orr from KQED sharing their insights on the twists and turns of the 2018 midterms. There were two engaging short courses on sampling and reaching teens as well as conference panel sessions covering timely, important topics such as politics in the western states, voter subgroups, data quality considerations, and international public opinion research. Our annual conference also marks the transition to the new 2019 PAPOR council. We’re lucky to have many returning council members as well as a few fresh faces.
