ASPA's 2019 Annual Conference takes place March 8-12. Have you made plans to join us? Featuring conversations around revitalizing the middle class, strengthening the public service, managing public finance, increasing social equity, the state of public administration around the globe and more, this will be a conference you cannot afford to miss.
Among public administration's most significant 21st century challenges, public finance, infrastructure, social equity and public service transcend geographic boundaries, sectors and levels of government. They impact the lives of citizens every minute of every day. They are researched, discussed and applied by our members in our public, private and nonprofit institutions. This year's conference is a Call for Action on these issues. We who are dedicated to the public good must answer the call.
Final presidential panelists are being confirmed to ensure this year's event will be a prime location where you can find today's leading experts all in one place. Organizations represented will include:

- Partnership for Public Service
- Senior Executive Service
- United Nations

Need a place to stay? Rooms are still available at the Capital Hilton, our overflow room block, but only through this Friday. Book your stay now at the closest hotel to the Mayflower at the cheapest rate!

Are Declines in U.S. Federal Workforce Capabilities Putting Our Government at Risk of Failing?
A study published by the Senior Executives Association
Has the U.S. federal government reached a point where critical operations might fail in stressful events that are likely to occur? This was this project's animating question, as posed by authors Molly Jahn, Greg Treverton and David Bray. Based on the data collected in this study, it appears the answer to these critical questions is yes.
A weakening in the capacity of the government's workforce and its organizational structures is plainly evident, as is a perceptible loss of collective resilience to detect and respond to adverse events. To test this conclusion, Jahn and her team considered workforce trends given several dozen potential scenarios, ranging between those that are virtually certain to occur in the next year to other scenarios that are highly plausible in the near term.
The U.S. executive branch has hardly grown in 50 years—there were 1.8 million civilian employees in 1960 and 2.1 million in 2017. Yet during the same period the amount of money spent by the federal government has grown five-fold. To be sure, contracts and grants have filled part of the gap, but both the amount and range of work required of the federal workforce has continued to go up, just as the scope and complexity of executive branch functions have also increased. Government contractors, widely used to plug the holes in our government, can only take up so much of the slack.
While the productivity of the United States and other nations around the world has increased since the 1960s, most of those productivity gains were related to manufacturing. In contrast, most of the roles of the U.S. federal government workforce associated with responding to emergent events, disruptions and crises do not involve manufacturing—rather these roles involve complex sets of activities and discussions with multiple stakeholders, typically spanning across departments with need for coordination with other partners.
Several examples underscore just how bad the problem is for the government workforce:
- Almost 20 percent of the government's top managers, members of the Senior Executive Service (SES), departed in the first 12 months of the current administration and numbers have not fully recovered.
- There are five-fold more federal workers older than 60 than those younger than 30 years old.
- The last major revision to the civil service rules for recruiting, hiring and retention of the federal workforce was 40 years ago, a time that predates the Internet. Looking at these staffing dynamics across agencies, the prospects are even bleaker.
A comprehensive analysis of those dynamics, noting trends through time, coupled with workshops and interviews, reveals a set of highly disconcerting trends:
- Increasing work overload, with clear impact on both "readiness" and retaining talent.
- More toxic workplaces were reported especially, by no means only for women.
- Complaint channels or social media are now weaponized to "take out" an employee or group, resulting in a chilling workplace climate and constant anxiety about the potential of false allegations for executives striving to do their best with constrained resources in demanding circumstances.
- Distrust of permanent civil servants by new political appointees, always present but usually fleeting, has become endemic.
- Lack of rewards for action and innovation, yet clear risk of penalties, leading to "analysis paralysis".
Given an increasingly strained workforce, this study raises several points as recommendations but the ultimate question is one for the American people: What do they want from their government?

Averaging 75 attendees per event and free to participate, these e-learning opportunities provide you with valuable insights and information at your fingertips. Visit our website to stay informed about all upcoming webinars including KeepingCurrent, BookTalks and the Student and New Professionals Series.
BookTalk: What She Said: How Jane Addams Informs Public Administration
Feb. 21 | 1 p.m. EST
Presenters:
Patricia Shields, Texas State University
Mary Guy, Moderator, University of Colorado Denver
This BookTalk introduces the remarkable Jane Addams as a pioneer of public administration and so much more. It uses Jane Addams' story to make the case that public administration should re-imagine its past by incorporating more diverse voices and ideas. Pat Shields’s Jane Addams: Progressive Pioneer of Peace, Philosophy, Sociology, Social Work and Public Administration demonstrates how the life and works of Jane Addams was lost and is being recovered in a variety of interrelated fields.
KeepingCurrent: Smart Cities and Public Procurement
Feb. 27 | 1 p.m.
In Partnership with NIGP: The Institute for Public Procurement
Presenters:
Tony Batalla, The City of San Leandro
Al Brown, SmartWave Technologies
Harold (Hal) Good, Procurement Adviser and Curator @ProcurementPros
NIGP and ASPA are again collaborating on another great procurement and greater public administration topic. Smart Cities and Public Procurement. A panel of speakers will talk about what Smart Cities are and how public procurement professionals work within those cities. Panelists will talk through those who are working with the demand for “smart” solutions that are innovative and flexible but how communities are making long term decisions while working with current trends and demand.
KeepingCurrent: A Nation of Immigrants: Exploring the Trends, Players and Impacts of Immigration Enforcement Policies
Feb. 28 | 2 p.m.
In Partnership with the L. Douglas Wilder School of Government and Public Affairs, Virginia Commonwealth University
The United States has historically been called a nation of immigrants—a "melting pot" in which people of different cultures, backgrounds and beliefs can come together. Recently, however, the topic of immigration has become more contentious. As policymakers debate how to address issues such as ongoing refugee crises, immigrants at the southern border and DREAMers, the futures of those impacted by these policies are uncertain. Through this webinar we will explore the trends, players and impacts of immigrant enforcement policies, and will discuss the impacts these policies may have.

Flash Sale: Son of Virginia: A Life in America's Political Arena
FLASH SALE! $19.95 per copy!
Son of Virginia: A Life in America's Political Arena tells the story of the former governor of Virginia, L. Douglas Wilder—the first elected African-American governor in American history.

The autobiography has received high praise from authors and scholars who note: "Doug Wilder […] helped make President Obama possible," "Son of Virginia is itself an important historical document" and "Governor Wilder […] almost certainly changed the course of American history."
At a time when the problems of race in our country can seem almost insurmountable, Son of Virginia offers perspective when looking back, and hope when moving forward. Simply put, you don't want to miss out on this book.

SAAPAM 19th Annual Conference Takes Place this May
The South African Association of Public Administration and Management (SAAPAM) will hold its 2019 conference May 7-10, 2019 at the University of Mpumalanga, Nelspruit. The theme of the conference will be, "Public Affairs, Governance and the Fourth Industrial Revolution." Political parties in government are often considered catalysts in providing interventions to addressing some of these basic human needs issues in cases where they have collective value for a society. Classification of government in ministries and departments is an example of providing a focused approach to identify those needs which are inherently to the benefit of society as opposed to individual or private. This begs for an art of public affairs and governance to provide institutional mechanisms to realize set goals for each area. Click here for more information.
