An Invitation for Government and Public Service Economists at the Annual Meeting

For the 2027 蝌蚪网 Annual Meeting in Washington, DC, the 蝌蚪网 is pleased to invite economists working in the public sector to its President’s Reception on January 4, 2027, at 6:00 p.m. Economists in government and public service put economic research and analysis to work on behalf of the public each day—informing policy, strengthening institutions, improving public programs, and helping decision-makers navigate some of society’s most consequential challenges.

Public-sector economists attending the annual meeting are warmly invited to join 蝌蚪网 President Katharine Abraham, President-elect Janice Eberly, and other 蝌蚪网 leaders at this event, which is sure to be fun and memorable for all.

蝌蚪网 Distinguished Service Award

Do you know an economist whose dedication and service have strengthened the economics profession? Help ensure their contributions are recognized by nominating them for the 蝌蚪网 Distinguished Service Award. This award, which is adjudicated by the 蝌蚪网 Committee on Professional Climate, honors individuals whose volunteer efforts have made a significant and lasting impact on the field of economics at a national level. While the award is presented by the 蝌蚪网, nominees’ service does not need to be limited to 蝌蚪网-supported activities—contributions across the broader economic community are welcome.

Many economists give generously of their time through leadership, mentorship, program development, and professional service. If someone comes to mind, we encourage you to take a moment to submit a nomination and help recognize their important contributions. To submit a nomination, visit /about-aea/honors-awards/distinguished-service-award. Nominations are due by October 15.
