Statement of Views: The APSA has many functions, key among them to provide professional services to individual members and departments and to project the public face of political science.  To perform the membership functions successfully, members of the APSA leadership need to be aware of and responsive to the diverse needs of the membership.  To be successful in the public presentation of our profession they have to be able to articulate what political science can contribute to the solution of the major challenges facing our communities, the country, and the world.  I am strongly committed to working for success in both areas.
