From the Chair

 

C. Lawrence Evans

College of William and Mary

 

          First, thanks very much for giving me the opportunity to serve as chair of the Legislative Studies Section this past September.  I am happy to report that the official section gavel that Sarah Binder transferred to me at the business meeting in Seattle made it through TSA screening without a hitch.

          The Announcements section of the LSS website has detailed criteria for our annual awards and the list of members for each of the 2011-2012 award committees.  Section awards include the Richard F. Fenno, Jr. Book Prize; the Alan Rosenthal Book/Article Award; the Carl Albert Best Dissertation Award; the CQ Best Paper Award; and the Jewell-Loewenberg Best LSQ Article Award.  Please take a few moments and consider contacting the committee chairs with nominations prior to March 1. 

          I thank all of the award committee members for their time and effort.  I also want to thank Chuck Shipan, Jamie Carson, and Lynda Powell for agreeing to serve as the new nominations committee for the section.  At this point, Greg Koger and Carol Mershon are putting together the program for the section’s panels for the 2012 annual meeting of APSA.  Without doubt, the program will be first rate, and I look forward to seeing it and all of you in New Orleans.
