2022 COMPA Conference

Additional Information

The complexities of the 21st century, including the embedded uncertainties, place great responsibility on public administrators to be innovative when addressing concerns of the varied segments of the population. The emergent and convoluted nature of public sector problems/challenges call for new governance arrangements that encourage cross-sector collaboration in decision making and implementation as conduits to constructive and sustainable solutions for the realization of societal benefits. Public administrators at the local, state, national/federal levels remain critical to fulfilling the constitutional mandate of effective service to the people. The goal is to ensure adequate representation and participation of citizens in deliberative governance arrangements to promote administration in the public interest. The call to uphold public service values and principles such as social equity, accountability and performance, ethics, and integrity, as well as precepts in the constitution and the law, public interest, democratic participation, professional excellence, responsiveness, efficiency, empowerment, adequate and representative leadership, among other constructions espoused by ASPA, are even more urgent in these contemporary times. Admittedly, governance and administrative challenges present opportunities for innovative solutions by scholars, practitioners, and policymakers in ways that would promote the judicious utilization of human and material resources in service to the people.
