Dear Colleagues,   This is my 10th year conducting research on Public Policy. My passion for Public policy is growing by the day and I want to do more and help grow the community of researchers working on policy issues. I have already started on this path by co-organising the SPPN the annual meeting of academics from across Singapore and surrounding regions working in the area of public policy. I am now standing for becoming a member of the college of IPPA and hope you will consider voting for me. My main goal for becoming a member of college is to help in further developing IPPA and contribute to its success in future. I am passionate about people, and interested in fostering relations and representing interests of a variety of colleagues. As someone who has lived in four continents and has experienced a variety of different governance and academic systems, I would like to be a driving force for increasing the diversity in IPPA and further raising awareness about issues that academics face in regions that are not represented as well as Europe and North America. Best, Araz
