Conference Update: Our Journey to New Heights Continues!
AAPOR – the journey to take Public Opinion and Survey Research to New Heights continues as we inch closer to the 2018 AAPOR Conference in Denver!

We are also going to have 12 PORTAL track sessions where you can take advantage of introductory, accessible talks for new and emerging areas in our field.
2018-2019 Executive Council Election
On February 14, the newest slate of candidates for AAPOR’s Executive Council will be announced to the membership. Voting will begin in early March. To arrive at this point takes a lot of input, effort, and good judgement by our members, the Nominations Committee, and AAPOR Council.
Ever wonder how the nominees are selected? Here is how it works.
AAPOR’s Executive Council – What We’re Working on
Colleagues, sharing with you an update on Executive Council activities. As way of background, our Council meets twelve months a year. Given the geographic dispersion of our elected Council members, seven of these meetings are conference calls, which typically run about two hours in length. The five other meetings are held in person, typically several times in Washington, once in Chicago, and the day immediately preceding our annual conference. As you might imagine, all of our Association’s business and planning activities are reviewed and approved during these meetings, which often makes for intensely packed agendas.
