We will share plans for the upcoming months and create space for you to share your research ideas and interests. In essence, we want the RPA to reflect the nearly 700 members who have found a home within it. Whether you have previously been a member of the RPA or have never participated, please do join us. We are refreshing membership in the RPA and are also seeking volunteers for a new steering committee (to start from May).
