Editor’s Introduction

Note from the Editor

Having delighted in the first in-person IAPSP conference in Washington, D.C. since the pandemic forced us to gather online, the vitality of our community has never seemed greater. We hope that eForum will continue to provide rich, meaningful opportunities for IAPSP members to connect with one another. We invite you to participate in developing and enhancing our newsletter by contributing short articles and news about yourself and your organization. We also welcome your ideas for new columns and features. Please write to me at eforum@iapsp.org.
