ASPA Urges an End to the Shutdown

From ASPA President Jane Pisano:

As we now measure the federal government shutdown in weeks—not hours or days—the impact of the executive-congressional stalemate comes into sharper focus. The public increasingly realizes that the shutdown is more than a matter of sharp differences in public policy. Its ramifications on the delivery of public services that the American people expect and deserve are becoming clear and dire.

For 80 years, the American Society for Public Administration has stood at the forefront of advancing excellence in public service and shining a spotlight on the outstanding work that hundreds of thousands of public servants perform every minute of every day. It is their work, done exceptionally well and without fanfare, that processes our tax returns, manages our national parks system, ensures the safety of our skies and delivers critical services to our most vulnerable populations. Surely there must be other ways to settle policy differences than to deprive Americans of essential public services.

Now is the time for our public leaders to lead and enable our public servants to serve. ASPA urges the Administration and Congress to bring this shutdown to an immediate end, resolve their differences in a manner that reflects our democratic values and honor those whose work is so critical for the current and future well-being of our country and its citizens.

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: Poor Participation: Fighting the Wars on Poverty and Impoverished Citizenship
Jan. 17 | 1 p.m. EST
Presenters:
Thomas Bryer, University of Central Florida
Sofia Prysmakova-Rivera, University of Central Florida

This book argues that active citizenship and poverty are inextricably linked. A common sentiment in discussions of poverty and social policy is that decisions made about those living in or near poverty are illegitimate, inadvisable and nonresponsive to the needs and interests of the poor if the poor themselves are not involved in the decisionmaking process. Inside this intuitively appealing idea, however, are a range of potential contradictions and conflicts that are at the nexus between active citizenship and technical expertise, between promotion of stability in governance and empowerment of people, between empowerment that is genuine and sustainable and empowerment that is artificial, and between a “war on poverty” that is built on the ideas of collaborative governance and one that is built on an assumption of rule of the elite. Join us for this informative discussion.




KeepingCurrent: Smart Cities and Public Procurement
Jan. 24 | 1 p.m. EST
Presenters:
Hal Good, Procurement Adviser and Curator @ProcurementPros

NIGP and ASPA are collaborating again on another great procurement 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 as well as how communities are making long-term decisions while working with current trends and demand.




Students and New Professionals: Public Service Jobs Beyond Academia
Jan. 31 | 1 p.m.EST
Presenters:
David Doyle, City of Seattle
Kyle Brown, UCHealth
Rashmi Chordiya, Moderator, ASPA Students and New Administration Professionals Section
Erica Lee, U.S. Small Business Administration
Jason MacCannell, California State Parks
Patricia Soler, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development

Are you interested in learning about careers in government and policy? Do you want to learn more about job opportunities and fellowships for PhDs interested in government positions at the state, local and federal level? Please join us for a webinar on the public sector careers beyond academia to hear from PhDs who utilize their research skills in the public sector and what other transferable skill sets they apply!

Focus on Membership: What Does ASPA Membership Say About You?

As we start 2019, overshadowing most of our efforts is the government shutdown and the pall it casts over our discipline. For the almost 800,000 furloughed public servants, their livelihoods are at stake. For those not furloughed, and for those who work in state or local government, the shutdown threatens current efforts and lowers morale. For those in academia, some are impacted by lack of government funding; others are looking at future research topics related to dysfunctional government; still more may not be directly affected but surely stand in solidarity with fellow public administrators.

As we all continue to watch and wait, consider this question: What does your membership in ASPA say about you and about our discipline?

Perhaps, for some, it implies one more bill to be paid while not receiving a paycheck. (For those furloughed who need extra time to pay their dues, please know that we are happy to work with you.)

For most, though, we hope you talk about your ASPA membership with a feeling of pride. We hope your ASPA membership not only shows your commitment to excellence in public service, but also your support for your fellow civil servants at all levels of government. We hope your ASPA membership reminds you that you are united with more than 8,000 peers and colleagues in a goal of providing critical services to all populations, protecting our nation and upholding our Republic’s values. We hope, for our student members, that it represents the greatness to which you aspire in your future public service career.

Membership in ASPA is about more than a list of services you receive for your dues dollars, as important as some of them may be. Membership also is about upholding a Code of Ethics that requests a focus on the Constitution, professionalism, equity and personal integrity. It is about uniting in a body bigger than ones self because with unity comes strength. It is about connecting with others who share your ideals for the best possible systems of governance—and then improving what we have time and again to serve our citizens at the levels they deserve.

At its heart, ASPA membership is about standing together, holding firm for our mutual mission and having a better public service because of it.

When you think about this question—What does my ASPA membership mean?—we hope, during the shutdown and beyond, solidarity, union and mutual visions of excellence come to mind. So, too, do we hope that those ideals are your most important benefit.

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.
