"Best Conference Ever!"
What else can one say about a conference that surpassed attendance expectations by 25 percent, featured more than 180 concurrent and Presidential Panels looking at the most important issues of our time and ended with an inspirational speech from Vice President Joe Biden?
The 2019 Annual Conference, themed "A Call for Action: Advancing Public Service," was held in Washington, DC earlier this month with more than 1,600 people in attendance. Their participation, in part, made it one of ASPA's best annual gatherings, offering more networking opportunities, an excellent chance to forge new relationships and bring to light new and valued perspectives.
Of course, the conference offered an array of plenary and Presidential Panel speakers to provide conference goers with a wide-angle lens on the discipline. Remarks from the plenary stage included powerful perspectives from American University (AU) president Sylvia Burwell, Ambassador Christopher Hill, University of Southern California (USC) dean Jack Knott, former DC mayor Anthony Williams and, not to be overlooked, Vice President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. More in-depth commentary focusing on conference track topics were offered during 18 Presidential Panels that featured agency experts, scholars, deans, practitioners and others.
Most important, however, was the prevalence of this year's conference theme and how committed attendees were to advancing public service, made obvious through panel topics, the conversations that buzzed throughout the hotel space and the focus of current research.
"There are few things more important to our nation than people going into public service," stated AU president Sylvia Burwell during the Donald C. Stone lecture. "Just as important is how to get things done if you DO go into public service… Working on things that matter, being engaged in things that make our nation a better place, is not always enough. You actually have to deliver."
Conference-goers were focused on ways to deliver in public service, whether through advancing research to aid public programs and services or discussing what is holding back today's public service to cultivate the next generation of government employees—a dominant conversation.
"There’s a power of early awareness. You have to reach individuals and their influencers," observed Shawn Skelly, a commissioner for the National Commission for Military, National and Public Service, as she discussed the future of the public service. "Do you want a person to work for you who has just encountered the job opportunity, or because they have been thinking about what they can do and want to do it with you—your government—because they're passionate about it? There are people who want to drive trucks, dig dirt, make clean water. They have to know they can do it in their local, county or state government. If people know they can do what they're passionate about where they live and where they've grown up, that can be very powerful."
Outside the plenary and presidential panel rooms, concurrent panels and workshops made their own impact, particularly within the social equity track. The Social Equity, Diversity and Inclusion workshop had standing room only on Saturday afternoon as lead presenters Brandi Blessett and Tia Gaynor encouraged more than 100 attendees to be more introspective and self-aware around issues of equity and inclusion.
Other topics that attracted appeal across the five days included gender equity issues, soft skills in public administration, equity in finance and legislation, city and county management, public private partnerships, climate change, emergency management and much more.
Back in the plenary room, dean Jack Knott delivered this year's Elliot Richardson lecture and used the time to examine public administration's trajectory across the 90 years of the Sol Price School's history at USC.
"We need a recommitment to the role of citizens in our democracy, including civic engagement," Knott stated as he reflected on the current state of the discipline. "We also need serious campaign finance reform to better guarantee the broad participation of citizens in government decisionmaking."
He went on to say: "I believe in the strength of our country's enduring democratic norms and the work of public administration toward society fairness," before he closed with quoting Elliot Richardson: "I believe profoundly in the value of human dignity and equality. I therefore believe as well in such essential contributions to these ends as fairness, tolerance and mutual respect."
These themes, and their connection to advancing public service, were emphasized throughout the conference and served as the capstone to the event during Vice President Joseph R. Biden's remarks as the closing lecture, sponsored by the University of Delaware's Biden School of Public Policy and Administration.
"When I got to [University of] Delaware, it inspired me to engage in a life of public service and it instilled in me a belief that... I could actually make a difference," Biden reflected. "You in this room are the tenders of the flame that keeps all of us believing in the promise of American democracy ... The central promise of America can be defined in one word: possibilities."
As we all continue our valuable work together to advance public service in the months ahead, possibilities are what we await in the future.

KeepingCurrent, BookTalks and Student Webinars on the Horizon
ASPA's webinars are ongoing throughout the year. 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: The Routledge Handbook of LGBTQIA Administration and Policy
April 4 | 1 p.m.
Presenter:
Wally Swan, Walden University
The LGBT community is responding to a radically changed social and political environment. While a host of books have analyzed legal dimensions of LGBT public policy, this handbook is the first to utilize up-to-the-minute empirical data to examine the corrosive "post-factual" changes undermining LGBT public policy development. Taking an innovative look at a wide range of social and policy issues of broad interest through contributions from established scholars and rising stars, this comprehensive and cutting-edge volume will be a landmark reference work on LGBT administration and policy for decades to come.
BookTalk: Oxford Handbook of Global Policy and Transnational Administration
April 18 | 1 p.m.
Presenters:
Kim Moloney, Murdoch University (Perth, Australia)
Alasdair Roberts, Moderator, University of Massachusetts—Amherst
This handbook has two premises. First, to investigate new public spaces of transnational policymaking, the design and delivery of global public goods and services, and the interdependent roles of transnational administrators who move between business bodies and other organizations. Second, to advance analysis beyond the methodological nationalism of the state. Attendees will learn how public administration’s methodological nationalism limits our ability to engage global governance and how to articulate the implication of neither the administrative state nor state-created regional/international organizations as the only policy and administrative actors at the regional and global level.

Call for Articles: The Legacy of "Separate but Equal"
The 125th anniversary of Plessy v. Ferguson offers the opportunity for a general retrospective consideration of the legacies of state-sanctioned racial oppression, as well as specific inquiries into plausible causal connections between the Supreme Court's approval of state-imposed racial segregation/hierarchy and ongoing racial disadvantages and inequities. The Journal of the Social Sciences will be producing an issue on this subject, edited by Susan Gooden, John Powell and Sam Myers, who invite proposals that offer novel interpretations and new insights about the legacy of 'Separate but Equal'. Proposals may also look at specific explorations into connections between 'Separate but Equal' during the first half of the 20th century and observed racial disparities in the 21st century. The editors seek papers that acknowledge the multiple causes of ongoing race-based disadvantage across many domains. The volume is not limited to any particular interpretation of Plessy. All abstracts must be submitted by April 4, 2019. Click here for more information.

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.

Introducing a New Editorial Series in Public Integrity: "The State of the Republic"
By Donald E. Klingner, Ph.D., University of Colorado Springs
In 1968 I graduated from Cal Berkeley with a BA in Political Science. Now, after five years with the federal government and 45 as a public university professor, I look back at the places I have been, the people I have known and the things I have done. Each day, I look forward to doing the job in front of me with skill, passion and professionalism. I remain committed to the values I developed a half century ago—social equity, economic justice, and political participation.
Because the values that are most important are always those most threatened, the quest to advance public service never ends. When Benjamin Franklin was asked what he and other framers of the U.S. Constitution had created, he answered, "A republic, if you can keep it." As editor at large for Public Integrity, I am now writing a series of bimonthly scholarly essays on "The State of the Republic." Having begun this past January, they will appear bimonthly for the next two years and focus on current U.S. public policy issues that are critical to the future of global democratic governance. Each treatise will be "bookended" by one or more short pieces authored by global experts. Topics will include:
- Equality: Equality of opportunity and access for all (economic, social and political), the influence of the Constitution and its intellectual roots.
- Voting Rights and Political Participation: Representative vs. direct democracy, vote suppression, disenfranchisement, fraud and gerrymandering.
- Peaceable Assembly: Ethical concerns related to the people's ability to gather together in physical and virtual public spaces, including balancing 1st and 2nd Amendment rights, police relations and terrorism.
- Privacy: Constitutional protections and the role of government in protecting citizens in the age of data harvesting.
- Migration and Immigration: the history of diasporas, cultural identity politics and multiculturalism, demographic trends, migration and immigration policy, human trafficking, political inclusion and economic sustainability.
- Gender Equality: patriarchy and misogyny, discrimination, rights movements, domestic violence and pay parity.
- Informed Citizens: The key to democracy, public education, fake news, alternative facts, social media and political propaganda.
- Corruption: The effects of transparency and accountability in public, corporate and community-based organizations; prevention policies and practices.
- Public Safety: violence in society and toleration of it, including public spaces like streets, schools and public gatherings; institutionalized support for hate speech and violence that perpetuates insecurity and discrimination.
- Environmental Sustainability: Rollback on climate change, air and water quality, environmental racism, assault on public lands, corporate social responsibility.
- Peace, War and Everything in Between: slow burn conflicts, open-ended wars, killer drones, mercenaries, child soldiers and UN peacekeeping efforts.
- The Future: Is the glass half full, half empty or broken? Miguel Cervantes’ Don Quixote de la Mancha, the case for optimism vs. pessimism and the role of professional associations that support professional public administration and public service.
Because political culture and discourse are increasingly shaped by sound bites and propaganda-driven media echo chambers, people get little training—negative examples aside—on how to discuss policy issues with those who disagree on their objectives or strategies. While opposing viewpoints are inevitable, they are best discussed conscientiously, coherently and strategically. While not all readers will agree with my perspective in these essays, they will be rooted in fact, well-argued and thoughtfully written. They will model the rules of civic engagement:
- No matter how much you disagree with someone, be more concerned with learning what they believe and why than with explaining or defending your own viewpoint.
- No matter how illogical or uninformed they seem to be, do not cut them off, tune them out or attack their ideas by attacking them personally.
- If you have trouble with these two rules, repeat this mantra silently to yourself as you listen to them: "Is it possible that for any reason, under any circumstances, what they have to say might conceivably be true?" Repeat as necessary. If this mantra gives you trouble, do it while breathing through your nose, not your mouth.
As public administrators, public servants, and scholars, we share the belief that we can help governments, businesses and NGOs work more effectively together to support economic development political participation, social justice and environmental sustainability. Almost 90 years ago, the Great Depression stoked the fear and anger that led to World War II. But, just as those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it, so are those who have learned from history although their leaders have not. The United States faces hard times today. While unemployment is down and the stock market up, inequality and underemployment hamper economic growth. Our aging population; crumbling infrastructure; underfunded schools; tattered social safety net; expensive wars; and spiraling public and private debt make us increasingly vulnerable—maybe not to foreign armies, but certainly to fentanyl and other drugs, and to the foreign trolls and bots that stoke social conflict and use social media to attack our democracy.
Our elected leaders face their own hard times. Effective solutions to big issues tend to be unpalatable and politically risky. So, while their best approach is to take the high road and appeal to our intelligence, shared values and a continued belief that the American dream is real, they instead may find it easier to blame others. Seeking scapegoats, they may point to other countries as thwarting U.S. political or economic hegemony, to immigrants for stealing "our" jobs and undermining "our" culture, or to other Americans (those "not like us") for supporting beliefs, policies or lifestyles different from their own. "Divide and conquer" trumps "E Pluribus Unum."
I look forward to joining our colleagues over the next two years as we contribute together to the ongoing conversation among engaged and informed citizens that—together with a contentious yet mutually respectful relationship between public administrators and elected officials—is the cornerstone of democracy.
