Recognizing excellence in the profession is one APSA's most important
activities. Continuing the tradition set in 2003, Program co-chairs
Atul Kohli and Anne Norton will host the APSA Awards Luncheon and
Ceremony. The event will take place from 12:00–2:00 pm on
Thursday, September 2. Nineteen awards will be
given in categories for dissertations, books, papers, articles, and
career achievement. For the first time, the Frank J. Goodnow Award
will also be presented at this event. The luncheon is a ticketed
event, though the ceremony is open to all attendees. The event is
made possible through the generous support of the Policy Studies
Organization.

At the opening ceremony on 23 October, Mr. Kurt Bolliger, President of the Swiss Red Cross, which was hosting the Conference, gave a welcoming address to the delegates. He recalled that 85 years ago, in 1901, Henry Dunant had received the first Nobel Peace Prize for his humanitarian action. "It behoves us, particularly during this 'International Year of Peace', to do our utmost to show ourselves worthy of this heritage—not by making mere solemn appeals, nor by interceding in high-level politics, but through specific, daily humanitarian action which demands neither gratitude nor publicity", declared Mr. Bolliger.
