Since 1939, the American Society of Public Administration has been representing all forums in the public service arena. They advocate for greater effectiveness in government, and are purveyors of progressive theory and practice and global citizenship. ASPA embraces new ideas – addressing key public service issues – and promotes change at both the local and international levels.
The Foundation sponsored the 2009 and 2010 ASPA Annual Conferences, which included panels and workshops pertaining to fiscal stewardship and public investment, and was geared especially to students and new public administration professionals.
