ASPA 2026 Annual Conference Call for Proposals is Open

ASPA is headed to Hollywood!

Our 2026 Annual Conference will take place March 20-24, 2026, around the theme: "Building a Bridge to Renewal and Resilience." The Call for Proposals has opened, accepting all ideas and suggestions through September 19, 2025, at midnight.

Far more than an esoteric concept, “public administration” conveys so much in just two words. This work provides for our communities in big ways and small, no matter the policy choices or political winds swirling around us. From emergency management to public finance to public services to transportation to community support and more, public administration makes “it” happen.

During times like these, as change swarms and dominates, public administration holds steady, providing continuity, showing the pride in public service and ensuring that public needs are met. It takes special skill, motivation and talent to do this work. We are called to it. And we are called to come together to learn from each other—public servants, researchers, scholars, students, professors, nonprofit experts and policymakers—to navigate this environment. We are called to provide hope, trust, connection and purpose for our communities, states, country and world.

The 2026 Annual Conference aims to begin building the bridge we need to take us from today’s environment to what comes next. We can do “it” better. It is up to us to figure out how. It is up to us to share our knowledge, build our networks and be ready to help our communities, our workforce and our teams be more efficient, effective, economical, ethical and equitable. In short: Be resilient. We are living in a time of change and uncertainty; now is the time to plan for our renewal.

Seven tracks will guide our conversations and provide space for both research and practice:

• Citizen engagement and participation
• AI and digital transformation
• Public workforce, HR and organizational culture
• Democratic governance and public trust
• Emergency management
• Environmental sustainability and crisis response
• Public finance and economics
• Global governance and administration

BookTalk: The Public Policy Perspective: A Personal Analysis of Public Work
August 14 | 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. EDT

Speakers:
Benjamin Deitchman, Georgia Public Service Commission
Heather Getha-Taylor, Moderator, Professor, KU School of Public Affairs and Administration

Public policy and public administration are fundamental to a functioning society. These fields are embedded into our institutions, everyday lives and the greater culture. Public Policy Perspective: A Personal Analysis of Public Work explores public interest roles in 2025 from the student, scholar and practitioner perspective, as well as from their impacts on people and the planet. As we live through unceasingly unprecedented times, furthering our worldview on governance is essential. Author Benjamin H. Deitchman starts at the beginning: Understanding the basic perspectives on the public and nonprofit sectors and the roles in serving and leading in communities and beyond. Rigorously rooted in theory and practical experience, he examines how relevant individuals and institutions grow and provide impact, and how this shapes internal views and the views of others, including on television and in sports.




KeepingCurrent: Policing and Polycentric Governance: Insights and Implications
August 19 | 1:00 p.m. - 2:00 p.m. EDT
Sponsored by ASPA's Frederickson Center for Social Equity

Speakers:
Ben Haiman, Convener, Assistant Professor and Executive Director, Center for Public Safety, University of Virginia, School of Continuing and Professional Studies
Michael Kochis, Chief, Charlottesville Police Department
Katie Reisner, Senior Counsel, States United Democracy Center
Dan Silk, Associate Vice President for Public Safety, University of Georgia
Brian N. Williams, Moderator, Professor, University of Virginia, Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy

This webinar draws upon a group of distinguished police executives to highlight the important roles non-governmental actors play in governance—organizations that are private, voluntary and community-based—that enhance wellness and wellbeing and are vital for public safety's co-creation and co-production. Drawing upon their experiences and lessons learned, speakers will share expectations and subtle demands and offer insights on how to balance competing requirements and other challenges that come with polycentric governance: having so many cooks in the public safety kitchen.

Charles W. Washington, 82, of Pensacola, Florida, passed away this summer with his wife, Mary, at his side.

Washington retired from his university service in 2009 but had been an ASPA member since 1973, meaningfully engaged with the society, its Chapters and Sections for more than 35 years. His service to the profession and the ASPA community was wide-ranging, including the National Council, its executive committee, and nominating, awards and conference planning committees. Throughout his time in ASPA, he was member of the Gold Coast Chapter, the Georgia Chapter, ABFM and COMPA.

Born in Georgia, Washington's life was a testament to faith, education, perseverance and service. He was raised in Haines City, Florida. He earned degrees from Florida Atlantic University and his Ph.D. in public administration from the Maxwell School at Syracuse University. His academic and professional journey included roles at prestigious institutions including The George Washington University, where he served as associate dean; Mississippi State University, where he chaired the Stennis Institute; Florida Atlantic University; and Clark Atlanta University, where he served as dean. He was a fellow of the National Academy of Public Administration and a Hall of Fame inductee at Florida Atlantic.

Washington was a widely published author, contributing book chapters and research for a range of publications, including journals, NAPA reports and more.

Washington also was a devoted servant-leader in his church. He became a minister at Mount Olive Baptist Church in Arlington, Virginia, and continued his service at Friendship Baptist Church in Atlanta and First Baptist Church of Pensacola. At First Baptist, he sang in the choir, taught Bible study, and served the unhoused through Samaritan Hands.

Washington was a life member of Kappa Alpha Psi and was cherished for his humility, wisdom and dedication to helping others. He is survived by his wife of 59 years, Mary Elizabeth Harrison Washington; his son, Carlton Wade Washington (Trina); grandchildren Mecca, Cannon and Storm; and a host of siblings, nieces, nephews, cousins and friends.

You may read his official obituary online here.

New Chapter Approved for North Dakota

During its July meeting, ASPA's National Council approved a new Chapter to serve North Dakota. Formed by University of North Dakota professors Michelle M. Buehlmann, Dana Harsell and Brian Urlacher, this Chapter launched with 17 committed members in the state and a strong plan to continue to bring ASPA to the university and its surrounding communities, including those in Native American areas. Chapter members will elect officers, affirm its bylaws and adopt a program schedule during its fall meeting in the coming months.

If you would like to be a part of this Chapter and support its programming, contact Michelle Buehlmann for more details.

FormerGov Hosts Virtual Clubhouses Connecting Feds

FormerGov, an organization connecting current and former federal civil servants for networking and job-searching (among other services), will begin holding weekly "Former Gov Clubhouses," beginning Tuesday, September 9. These are open spaces for people to mix, mingle, commiserate and work alongside of others who have been impacted by the current administration's workforce challenges.

Currently, Clubhouses will be held every Tuesday from 9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m. ET, on the first floor of Eaton House in downtown DC (near metro center for those familiar).

If you are a DC-based fed who has been impacted by the administration's workforce adjustments, check out these gatherings, co-work with others, commiserate and make the most of this opportunity to connect with others.

Contact FormerGov Founder Brian Levine for more details.

Contribute to the Oral History Project

Federal Employees and Contractors Oral History Project (FECOHP) is preserving the voices of those who have served the American people, before, during and after January 2025. As their website reads:

"Civil servants and federal contractors have long played a crucial role in keeping the U.S. government running and serving the American public. Beginning in January 2025, federal employees and contractors across the United States have experienced profound and rapid changes. Federal agencies have faced widespread disruptions. Tens of thousands of civil servants have been laid off and numerous government contracts have been canceled. These changes have impacted individuals, families, communities and the delivery of public services...

"FECOHP will collect oral histories from federal employees and contractors affected by these sweeping changes. By preserving these firsthand accounts, the project aims to build a permanent archive of 300 to 500 stories over a three-year period. These interviews will serve as a vital resource for historians, policymakers, educators and the public—offering insight into the essential work conducted by the federal workforce and how their efforts have strengthened the nation."

Trans-Atlantic Dialogue Takes Place This Month!

The EGPA 2025 Conference will be held in Glasgow, Scotland, August 26-29, in association with the University of Glasgow’s Centre for Public Policy and the Glasgow Convention Bureau.

The EGPA Conference is the annual meeting of the multi-disciplinary community of Public Administration academics, researchers and practitioners in Europe, also joined by colleagues from the IIAS network. The Conference is organized around several activities: plenary sessions, dedicated seminars (PhD symposium, French-speaking seminar, and thematic ones), panels arranged by 23 EGPA Permanent Study Groups, and side meetings (EAPAA meetings for accreditation, EGPA Steering Committee Meeting, Meeting of the Permanent Study Groups co-chairs and collaborative projects’ meetings).

It is well-established that the integrity of democratic forms of government internationally are being challenged by a variety of sources. These include the spread of disinformation and the associated erosion of trust in public institutions; the transnational nature of global threats such as the climate and biodiversity crises; the need to better engage and represent citizens in increasingly diverse societies; the spread of nativist politics and of course the challenges wrought by digital technologies on democratic processes. Within public administration research questions are being raised about the fragility of states or even the prospect of failing states due to this heightened turbulence.

In order to explore these issues, for this year’s Trans-Atlantic Dialogue we seek to address these changes as they manifest in four domains:

1. How to rethink the role of bureaucracies in the 21st century and their relationship to politics, society and the economy, particularly given changing political-administrative relationships or ‘bargains’
2. How to design new national and international public institutions to tackle the political and societal challenges of today, including new technological developments such as AI
3. How to support and reaffirm democratic values within public administrations
4. How best can administrative systems represent future generations and promote wellbeing in their current decision-making

Historic Redlining and the Constraint of Opportunity
Via The Lowe Down - The legacy of redlining continues to shape the American landscape—not just in housing patterns, but in the economic trajectories of families across generations. In a political climate where spatial inequality increasingly defines opportunity, we examine whether federal redlining maps, originally designed to restrict credit access in minority neighborhoods, still predict economic mobility today.

Tips, Resources and Updates

Trump Rules Revoking Student Loan Forgiveness Advance
The Trump administration got one step closer to implementing sweeping rules that would revoke student loan forgiveness eligibility after the Department of Education completed a series of public hearings... The hearings are a required part of a process called negotiated rulemaking, which allows the department to update or change regulations governing federal student loan programs.

Harvard Creates New Public Service Program, as Trump Slashes Federal Jobs
Harvard’s Kennedy School of Government announced recently the creation of a new scholarship program that will fully fund master’s degrees for at least 50 students with significant experience in the public sector, including the military. The one-year program, which will enroll students in fall 2026, is intended to foster careers in public service.

Why Federal Retirements Are Spiking This Year
A spike in May and June retirements appears to be driven by concerns over changes to retirement benefits that were initially outlined in the “Big Beautiful Bill,” signed into law July 4.

"Impostor Syndrome" Isn’t What You Think. And That’s a Good Thing.
Impostor syndrome—more accurately called the “impostor phenomenon”—is often used to explain why capable people doubt themselves at work, despite clear evidence of their success. But what if we’ve misunderstood key parts of the story, including its definition? And what if having thoughts that one might be an impostor isn’t entirely negative?

Student Loan Borrowers Face New Challenges Trying to Get Public Service Loan Forgiveness
PSLF, which President George W. Bush signed into law in 2007, allows many not-for-profit and government employees to have their federal student loans canceled after a decade of payments. Here are three challenges impacting PSLF borrowers, and what you can do about them.
