About US

For over 50 years, the Conference of Minority Public Administrators (COMPA) has been a cornerstone of leadership, advocacy, and professional development in the public service sector. Founded in 1971, COMPA was officially established as a Section of the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) in 1977, and has remained committed to empowering minority students, public servants, administrators, and government officials. Today, we continue to be a driving force for diversity, equity, and excellence in public administration. We are honored to have you join us in shaping the future of public service. As a member of our community, you are part of a legacy dedicated to fostering leadership, innovation, and progress.


Our Mission

Our mission is to serve and assist public administrators, students, and other professionals involved in public service. The mission is to advance the science, processes, technology, and arts, and image of public administration by providing leadership in the elimination of discriminatory practices against all minorities.


Our Vision

Our vision is to promote excellence in public service and administration in university settings and in the city, county, state, and national government operations.

 

Our Goals

COMPA is dedicated to achieving and supporting the following goals for its members:

  • Strengthening and increasing the role minorities play in setting public policy;
  • Influencing public managers and executives to ensure that the interests and goals of minority employees are served;
  • Educating our membership about emerging issues in public sector management by sponsoring conferences and issuing periodicals;
  • Nurturing the career aspirations of our membership by identifying employment opportunities; and
  • Recognizing outstanding service by public administrators.


Join us as we continue to lead, inspire, and make an impact. Welcome to COMPA—where public service meets progress!
