Notes

1. Women were also strongly represented at the Annual Meeting in 1991, serving as 24% of panel chairs and 26% of paper givers and discussants. Gruberg, Martin, “Participation by Women in the 1991 APSA Meeting,” PS (December 1991), pp. 763–64.Google Scholar

2. African American and Latino members are included in the minority figures here. Eighty-six percent of the membership has designated race or ethnic status for the membership system. Proportions of minorities in APSA are based on this group.

3. The proportions were higher at the start of the decade, in part because the Committee on the Status of Women in the Profession initially had 10 members rather than 5; they had begun to drop toward the end of the decade, equalling 33% in 1989.
