In early December, APSA mailed printed programs to all who registered for the cancelled 2012 Annual Meeting. The program contains key information that meeting participants are accustomed to having including the award winner lists and advertising. We also seek to recognize the many individuals who had been so active in organizing the program and put forward the official record of their effort.
In terms of cost of mailing the programs, our conference insurance coverage includes expenses related to the cancellation. It was a wash for us financially to mail the programs, and a net benefit for members who were interested in the content. If you did not receive a copy but would like one, please contact us at meetings@apsanet.org.

Meanwhile, global inequality is increasing, poverty remains stubbornly high, and evidence is mounting that traditional aid and development programs are not working.
