About MassASPA

   

The American Society for Public Administration (ASPA), established in 1939, is the largest and most prominent professional association in the field of public administration. With a diverse membership composed of practitioners, teachers, and students, ASPA has emerged as the focal point for intellectual and professional interaction, thereby serving as the principal arena for linking thought and practice within the field of public administration.

The Massachusetts Chapter of ASPA (MassASPA) is a organization of professionals employed in federal, state and local government, non-government organizations providing public interest services, and professors and students of public administration at local universities. 

Each year, MassASPA recognizes outstanding contributions to the public service field with three awards: Distinguished Public Administrator, Distinguished Citizen and the Paul G. Keough Scholarship Award. Learn more about the awards, here.
