RAYJOSEPHNYCCOMPA

Our vision is to promote excellence in public service and administration in universities and in the city, county, state, and national government operations... Our mission is to serve and assist public administrators of color, students, and other professionals involved in public service. We strive to advance the field of public administration by acknowledging, addressing, and eliminating discriminatory practices that impact people of color... Since 1939, ASPA has been the nation's most respected society representing all forums in the public service arena. We advocate for greater effectiveness in government, agents of goodwill and professionalism, publishers of democratic journalism at its absolute 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.
