Problems remain, of course, but there have been some achievements as well.
But they are not the only way. Hosted by APA Board Chair, Philip Quinn, and Executive Director, Eric Hoffman, the committee joined in a candid discussion with about thirty philosophers from two-year colleges. From Florida and New Jersey to Arizona and California, as well as points between, several participants and committee members attended the Chicago meeting specifically for this discussion. Many problems were clarified, lots of ideas were expressed, and some new directions seem possible. Other indicators of the APA's support include the Board's approval of several committee suggestions.
