Section Awards

In an effort to bring attention to exceptional scholarship, many organized sections have established awards. Currently there are more than 100 such awards honoring dissertations, papers, articles, books and career achievement. Winners are generally selected by member committees appointed by the chair or executive committee of the section. The organized section recognize winners at their annual business meetings, which are held in conjunction with the APSA Annual Meeting.

APSA Connect

Each organized section has an online community located on APSA Connect.  This community promotes discussion between section members, allows documents to be shared, as well as section wide announcements to easily be made.  Section members are able to receive daily notifications when a new message has been posted to their section forums.

Member Highlight

“The opportunity to learn new ideas and pick up new methods is one of the great benefits of staying involved in APSA. Not only can you get useful feedback when you present your work at an annual meeting, but you can be exposed to work that helps you to update how you're approaching your research. And when you serve as a section officer or on an award committee, you're able to engage with some of the brightest minds and the most innovative scholarship in our discipline.” – Leonardo Arriola
