Important

Notice

from

The

President

to

All

Members

Regarding

The

Annual

Meeting

The

membership

of

The

American

Academy

of

Political

and

Social

Science

is

world-wide

and

is

distributed

throughout

the

United

States,

with

many

members

on

the

west

coast

and

in

the

midwest.

Yet,

the

annual

meetings

are

held

in

Philadelphia.

In

order

to

give

recognition

to

members

located

in

other

regions

of the

country,

the

Board

of

Directors

has

suggested

that

an

annual

meeting

be

held

elsewhere.

Moreover,

we

are

also

considering

a

change

in

the

format

of

the

meetings

in

order

to

give

members

and

delegates

more

opportunities

for

discussion

and

for

presenting

their

own

comments

on

the

themes

of the

meetings.

Panel

discussion,

workshops,

roundtables

are

being

considered.

In

order

to

plan properly

for

these

changes,

we

shall

defer

the

1980

meeting.

Hence,

the

next

meeting

will

take

place

in

1981.

Announcements

will

be

made

when

the

plans

are

settled.

Meanwhile,

I

welcome

any

suggestions

about

topics,

format

or

location

of

the

annual

meeting,

and

trust

that

we

shall

be

able

to

increase

the

vitality

and

contributions

these

meetings

can

make

to

the

discussion

and

dissemination

of

significant

political

and

social

issues.
