Keep an eye on your inbox and your fingers crossed to go to Jacksonville this March! (Please do not send emails asking about the status of your proposal; the more of those we have to answer, the longer it will take for your notice to get to you.)

We Are Grateful for Your Support!

Since the beginning of 2020, we have undergone more trials and challenges than we could have imagined. COVID-19 and its ripple effects have placed historic stresses on public servants around the world; the fight for racial equality has moved back to the center of American politics in a way unseen for decades; and election officials and administrators have guarded our democratic and electoral processes in the face of unprecedented pressure. In response to these issues of our day, ASPA has steadfastly worked to advance excellence in public service to serve you, our members and friends, in meaningful and impactful ways.

Imagine what more we could do with your support.

In response to these challenges of our times, ASPA’s leadership has acted with you in mind. Throughout 2022, our programming will remain focused on these key issues—COVID-19; social equity, diversity and inclusion; and the strength of our democratic institutions, including a robust civil service. In the next couple of months, we will share with you new initiatives aimed at bolstering this work. And, with the fully engaged support of ASPA’s Endowment Board, National Council—and you—we know our future is bright and our footing is sound.

As 2021 draws to a close, please consider making ASPA part of your year-end charitable giving. Our legacy is significant and our potential to do good is even greater. But, we cannot do it alone. Think about the level at which you can support ASPA through an end-of-year donation. As you do, know that you have our gratitude for all you do to advance excellence in public service.

In Memoriam: Donald Gerth

ASPA member and former California State University (CSU)—Sacramento President Donald R. Gerth passed away recently at age 93. He had been an ASPA member since 1948.

The recipient of the Sacramento Chapter’s Outstanding Public Administrator Award and Outstanding Educator Award, he was a regular participant in Chapter and Section programming and at the national level, throughout his career and into retirement.

Gerth was born in Chicago and earned three degrees at the University of Chicago, including his BA, master’s degree in political science and Ph.D. in political science. He also served in the Air Force (1952-1956), was a lecturer in history at the University of the Philippines and served in a wide range of academic positions throughout his career, including 45 years in the CSU system.

Gerth joined the California State Colleges (CSC) system in 1958 where he was appointed dean of students for admissions and records and government instructor at San Francisco State College. He became president of CSC—Dominguez Hills in 1976 and was appointed president of the system in 1984, a position he held until 2003.

Equity was a critical priority for him. Months into his tenure in Sacramento, he met with members of the NAACP to address racism on campus; he struggled with the Clinton administration’s “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy for CSU’s ROTC students; and he worked to ensure equal protection and sustain affirmative action in the late ‘90s, when such programs were debated by state and national policymakers.

By the time he retired, he had gained international recognition as “dean of CSU presidents.” He was instrumental in helping the CSC system attain university status, committed to preserving history and known to be “the epitome of an academic.”

"Leading Through DEI" at the Price School

Throughout October, the University of Southern California Price Executive Education kicked off a major initiative to support public service executives and senior administrators within the diversity, equity and inclusion space. "Leading Through DEI" was an intensive nine-session program aimed to provide skills at the individual, team and organizational levels and allow time to pause and reflect.

The program was designed to be action-focused with presenters including public service executives and leading scholars and consultants in the field and across the United States. Participants were from four different states and included a chief of staff, legislative staff, county and city senior administrators, and nonprofit and behavioral health leaders.

“Structural racism has a detrimental effect on what we in the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office hold most sacred: public safety,” District Attorney George Gascón said. “It’s paramount that all working groups, particularly those in public service, develop and hone their leadership values with the goal of building stronger pipelines to racial and social diversity. USC Price’s 'Leading Through Diversity, Equity and Inclusion' program has helped move my office forward in furthering these crucial efforts.”

About this program specifically, LaVonna Blair Lewis, associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion, shared, “We miss the very best of the people we get to work with and for when we don’t give them a chance to be really seen and heard. We must focus our attention on DEI work if we ever hope to close the gaps that we all feel to some degree.”

"Leading Through DEI" takes many layers. The October 2021 program focused on why DEI matters in public service, doing the work: a mindful approach to DEI, cultural humility, social equity and ethics, empathy in professional settings, leading with courage and appreciative communication. Future offerings will include alternative topics and an expanded presentation team to reflect the breadth and depth of the field.

“There is no more important work than public service. We are proud to offer this program to support those who model, inspire and lead the way every day,” said Paul Danczyk, director of executive education.

2022 Transatlantic Dialogue Call for Papers

The 16th Transatlantic Dialogue (TAD16), an annual conference bridging scholarly communities on either side of the Atlantic Ocean, will take place June 9-11, 2022, in Roskilde (Denmark). Co-sponsored by ASPA, the European Group for Public Administration/International Institute of Administrative Sciences and Rutgers University, we are pleased to join with our European counterparts to support this event and the scholarly communities it enhances.

Under this year's theme, “Strategic Management of Public Sector Transformation in Turbulent Times: Enhancing Collaborative Governance and Co-creation of Public Value," TAD16 will organize a broad range of workshops led by pairs of American and European scholars:

• Building capacities for collaborative governance and co-creation through strategic management
• Enhancing public performance through interagency and cross-sector collaboration
• Public innovation through networks of public and private actors: theory and practice
• Improving the performance of contracts, procurement and public-private partnerships
• Co-creating public value outcomes with citizens and voluntary organizations
• Public leadership and motivation in public value production
• Designing institutional platforms and arenas for collaborative governance and co-creation
• Political leadership and policy entrepreneurship in a turbulent world of collaborative governance
• Democratic legitimacy and accountability in collaborative governance arrangements

Public Integrity: Special Issue on Qualitative Methods as Liberatory Tools

Public administration in academia remains mired in quests for legitimacy, often confused by ontological, epistemological and methodological suppositions rooted in different ways of knowing. Many of these debates remain at the “philosophy of science” level, leaving a gap in our knowledge about not just “doing methods” well but also how methodology and methods link to broader theoretical and practical discussions in the field. Contemporarily, numerous scholars are calling for a return to the field’s heart and soul: the citizen-state encounter, the power of tacit knowledge and the ability of stories and narratives to shape knowledge.

Yet a focus on the human dimensions of public administration requires centering the uniqueness of people’s experiences. Interactions with any public service entity are woven with differing conceptions and applications of ethics, accountability, equity, justice, legality and constitutionality, legitimacy, responsiveness, transparency and more. The methods we use must be up to the task of studying and sorting through these complex dimensions, especially through providing in-depth, detail-rich description and explanation of not only what phenomena are but also how and why they work the way that they do. Qualitative methods are essential for these goals.

This special issue seeks to foster a renewed focus on qualitative methods in public administration. Find the full call for papers online; proposals for papers should be submitted by January 9, 2022. An invitation to submit a full paper does not guarantee publication. All papers will be subject to Public Integrity’s standard double-blind peer review process. Please address any questions to special issue editors Staci Zavattaro, Sean McCandless, Ashley Nickels and Esteban Santis.

• COMPA 2022 Annual Conference Call for Papers
  COMPA's 2022 Annual Conference Call for Papers is open, centered on this year's theme, "Shifting Paradigms—Challenging Assumptions." We will address the challenges facing minority public administrators in communities experiencing increasing inequalities; systemic racism; police violence coupled with racialism in legal and justice systems; housing crises and food shortages; medical mistrust; chronic underinvestment; environmental degradation; and white supremacist extremism. All of these problems and many others have been exacerbated by an ongoing global pandemic that has killed more than 5 million people as it intensifies racial/ethnic tensions and economic disparities. Communities across the globe are fighting the brutal consequences of climate change and environmental racism amidst hurricanes, droughts, fires and the displacement of hundreds of thousands of people. To add to the chaos, we have witnessed the widespread promotion of a lack of confidence, both internationally and domestically, in democratic governmental and administrative processes. Public administrators generally and minority public administrators in particular are in the process of adapting to the new realities while reconsidering the long held paradigms by which we live. There is a growing decline in public trust in news and information sources and a greater reliance on social media, a lack of confidence in the findings of scientific institutions, and an ever-increasing lack of faith in elected and appointed governmental leaders. The COVID-19 pandemic has been decisively marked by political divisions in the popular public trust of scientists. These realities have become a permanent element of the contemporary political discourse affecting minority public administrators and the levels of citizens' trust in the administration of public services. The current social, political and economic climate around bureaucracies, national and global, create a deluge of opportunities and challenges for the field of public administration. Minority public administrators are called upon to rethink our role as mitigators working amidst a rising sense of injustice and helplessness, the lack of hope and confidence in the present system, and a desire for radical change. This conference offers opportunities for public administration practitioners, academicians, independent scholars and students to expand the discourse through intellectual forums, research considerations and collaborative partnerships which tackle these challenges and restore public service values and meaningful governance. The conference program committee welcomes proposals to the conference's 15 tracks from academics, practitioners, independent scholars and students. Email your proposals to [email protected]. Proposals should include the title, abstract and presenter(s') name, institutional affiliation, address, email address and contact number. The proposals deadline has been extended! All papers now are due by January 15, 2022. Click here for more information.
