Each year at Annual Meeting, the APSA Departmental Services Committee sponsors a workshop for department chairs. The 2007 Annual Meeting Workshop for Chairs addressed the theme of "Development at the Departmental Level," focusing on the unique challenges faced by department chairs when seeking to raise funds from alumni, secure gifts, work with their development office, or enhance engagement with the broader community.

The 2-hour session was moderated by Steven Majeski (University of Washington and chair, APSA Departmental Services Committee) and featured presentations by:

Stephanie A. Banta, Director of Development for the Northwestern University's Weinberg College of Arts & Sciences
Alice J. Barda, Senior Director, Major Gifts at Northwestern University
Kate Forhan, Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Northeastern Illinois University.

An extended Q&A period with the 55+ chairs in attendance followed the presentations. A full transcript of the session is available for purchase for $10.00.
