DC-AAPOR

  The Washington-Baltimore Chapter of the American Association for Public Opinion Research

DC-AAPOR is the local chapter of the American Association for Public Opinion Research (AAPOR). An active, intellectual community of researchers, academics, and other professionals engaged in the methods, applications, and findings of public opinion research and survey methodology, DC-AAPOR provides an exciting forum for discussion and debate about methodological, ethical, and substantive issues related to a range of research topics. 

DC-AAPOR hosts a number of seminars and "brown bags" during the year, often in conjunction with the Washington Statistical Society. For more information about scheduled events or membership, please contact Chapter Secretary Timothy Triplett.
