David Walsh, Meeting Director
Dear Friends,
I look forward to seeing you soon. Below is our program as it has settled in the month of August. We have been well served by our APSA host as most of our panels are conveniently located in the Omni Shoreham Hotel. We will have a slightly more splendid reception than usual on Saturday, thanks to the good offices of our co-sponsors from The Department of Politics at The Catholic University of America, and its Center for the Study of Statesmanship. Thank you for the good work in submitting your proposals for what promises to be a richly stimulating meeting. Your attendance at as many sessions as you can manage enlivens the conversation and deepens our collaboration. As always, your continued financial support of EVS, in contributions small or large, is always appreciated (for donations email [email protected]). We have particular financial needs in sustaining our online journal, Voegelinview, under the energetic leadership of Lee Trepanier. Please ensure that your papers are distributed to the panel members in timely manner. You can also include me on your mailing.
