ASPA Announces Several Major Award Winners


Washington, DC
–The American Society for Public Administration pleased to announce the recipients of several of the Society’s major awards. All of the awards will be presented at the Award Ceremony during the Society’s National Conference in Las Vegas, March 2-6, 2012.

ASPA’s extensive award program advances excellence in public administration in the simplest and most effective way.

It identifies and illuminates government that works and government
employees who work well. Today, it is more important than ever that
effective and efficient government be recognized, reinforced, and,
whenever possible, imitated with the hope of providing better service to
the public.

Likewise, ASPA’s awards recognize those researchers and professors
who have made outstanding contributions to public administration
literature and in the classroom.

Providing a forum through which the public sector’s best and
brightest can shine is what ASPA’s awards are all about. With its vision
of continuous improvement, ASPA structures its awards to provide
guidance not only to the Society but to the entire public administration
community as to the many positive directions toward which it can
strive.
