FELLOW NCPSA MEMBERS:
It is a pleasure to send out warm greetings to all the members of the North Carolina Political Science Association.
All of us who work for the Association appreciated your attendance and participation in our association's 40th Annual Conference at UNC-Charlotte. And we look forward to continued support from more political scientists in our state. We especially appreciated the extra effort that some of you, who had to travel long distances, made to attend. It's a really wide state, as I discovered criss-crossing the state in fall of 2008!
Ansel Brown of NCCU did a great job of putting panels together and organizing roundtables that addressed timely and pressing issues facing our nation and world. Prof. Brown was kind enough accept the position of Vice President for coming year also. He and I will work to arrange the 41st Annual Conference which we will hold at in Durham at Duke University. I am truly grateful for all that Ted Arrington of UNC-Charlotte, our past president, did to make the Conference a successful one. Finally, I want to acknowledge the extensive work of the Executive Council, which does much of the real work of deciding policy and leading the Association. It's a thankless job, but: Thanks!
Look for the Fall Newsletter for information on the Association, the meetings, and the undergraduate paper competition!
Our listserve has the names and email addresses of over 450 professional political scientists in North Carolina. We are the only viable means of communication among the members of our professor in our state, and we would appreciate it if you could send updates of your own contact information, or that of others you know about, so we can keep this valuable resource up to date.
In closing, please accept my best wishes to you and I am looking forward to seeing here at Duke on Friday, February 24!
Sincerely, Michael Munger, Duke University
