“The thing I value most being an APSA member is the range people of that I have had the opportunity to meet through the work I have been doing. APSA through its committees, task forces, its initiatives it brings together people across a range of institutions across a range of research interests and a range of backgrounds. And the people I have been lucky to meet through those settings were coming together for common purpose have been people who become colleagues that I really treasure and friends and people I respect very much, expose me to new research approaches and help me to find a community of scholars that contribute to the success of all of my work.”- Dr. Amy Cabrera Rasmussen, member since 2001
