Headshot Cherie638496535920061795

“I think one of the most important things APSA does is to support conferences, programming, and publication outlets that provide opportunities to share research and to network with like-minded colleagues. APSA conferences, sections, caucuses, publications, and journals presented important opportunities to cultivate a professional network early in my career – and are still integral to my current professional life in different ways. I particularly appreciate that APSA has been willing to evolve to meet my own and other members’ changing professional needs.” – Dr. J. Cherie Strachan, Member since 1997
