The National Association of Practicing Anthropologists (NAPA) and the
Society for Applied Anthropology (SfAA) are working on a joint project
with the goal of marketing the abilities and skills of applied
anthropologists for the consumers of our services (e.g., government,
business, non-profit agencies) through promotional displays, consultant
networks and other means. There are six committees working on various
parts of this project.
The committee developing a promotional display has been asked to survey
