FELLOW NCPSA MEMBERS:
I just want to take this opportunity to extend my greetings to all my colleagues and friends in the North Carolina Political Science Association.
Please know how much all of us who work for the Association appreciated your attendance and participation in our association's 39th Annual Conference at North Carolina Central University in Durham. 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. Adam Newmark of Appalachian State University did a fantastic job assembling panels and roundtables that addressed timely and pressing issues facing our nation and world. Ansel Brown made the arrangements at NCCU and has accepted the position of Vice President for next year. He will be arranging the 40th Annual Conference which we will hold at UNC Charlotte. I am truly grateful for all that Phillip Ardoin of Appalachian State, our past president, and the Executive Council did to make the Conference a successful one and this past year a productive one for the association. We have doubled participation in the Conference each of the last two years.
The Executive Council is in constant contact via email. Our association needs and appreciates your support. We will be increasing the communication among institutions via our semi-annual newsletter, and will provide information shortly on the Undergraduate Paper Competition for 2010.
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.
In closing, allow me to extend my best wishes to you and I am looking forward to seeing here at Charlotte next February.
Sincerely, Ted Arrington, UNC-Charlotte
