We are
ASPA.
We invite you to enter
into the dynamic world of information, challenges and people that
make ASPA what it is today. When you join the American Society for
Public Administration, you become part of the time-tested heart of
the world of public service. Since 1939, we have been the nation's
most respected society representing all forums in the public service
arena.
We are advocates for
greater effectiveness in government - agents of goodwill and
professionalism - publishers of democratic journalism at its very
best - purveyors of progressive theory and practice and providers of
global citizenship. We believe that by embracing new ideas -
addressing key public service issues - and promoting change at both
the local and international levels, we can enhance the quality of
lives worldwide.
