Today, the 2025–26 and incoming 2026–27 Executive Councils came together for a joint meeting focused on the future of the profession and AAPOR's continued evolution. These volunteer leaders represent a wide range of perspectives, expertise, and experiences across public opinion and survey research, and we are grateful for their time, leadership, and commitment to the AAPOR community. Thank you to both Councils for helping shape what comes next for our field. #AAPOR26

Our conference kicks off tomorrow, so our countdown ends here. As we prepare to gather in Los Angeles, Conference Chair Morgan Earp reflects on the importance of coming together as a community to exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and learn from one another at a moment when our work has never been more important. From conversations on trust and innovation to new connections and shared experiences, #AAPOR26 is designed to spark meaningful dialogue and move the field forward.
