After considering several program proposals for the 2001 Annual Meeting, the Executive Committee supported the theme of preparing future faculty. Some of the suggestions for session topics that have been proposed by the Academy membership include the following:

1. The changing nature of mentoring
2. The expanding set of faculty skills needed for success
3. Demographics of the field
4. Emerging and declining areas of specialization
5. Trends in interdisciplinary/integrative research
6. Characteristics of programs in other countries
7. Future demand for Ph.D.s in the field
8. Evaluation of graduate programs
9. Teaching as a required aspect of professional preparation
10. Essential experiences in Ph.D. preparation

Dan Landers has graciously agreed to serve as the Program Chair for the 2001 Annual Meeting, and he will be seeking additional session topics and potential presenters. Fellows are encouraged to contact Dan if they wish to suggest session topics, offer the names of individuals they feel would be good speakers, or volunteer to lead a session that has special significance to them. Program planning is in a very preliminary stage at this time, so all forms of feedback and response are encouraged.
