	Abstract

This article probes the many ways in that regional scientists can be policy relevant at a state level focus. Personal anecdotes are used to illustrate the many ways we serve in this capacity, while still acting as the type of researchers that Walter Isard envisioned we would be at the outset of our field. It concludes with recommendations on how regional scientists can engage in the joys of being more policy relevant, but warns that the path is not always compatible with a tenure track.
