National Capital Area Chapter of the American Society for Public Administration

The American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) is committed to the advancement of excellence in public service.
The Society seeks to achieve that by: the advancement of the science, art, and processes of public administration, the
development and exchange of public administration literature and information, and advocacy on behalf of public service
and high ethical standards in government.

With 10,000 members, ASPA represents a broad array of professional interests and disciplines from all levels of
government, the nonprofit and private sectors, and the academic community, both in the United States and abroad.  (Click for the current NCAC Overview Brochure)

President's Message

Welcome to American Society for Public Administration (ASPA)’s National Capital Area Chapter (NCAC)!  Without a doubt, NCAC has enjoyed tremendous success in promoting ASPA’s mission throughout the DC Metro area.  Our membership boasts of over 300 registered members and we have worked to ensure that we weave an intricate network of professionals and students in both the public and private sectors who are currently working or aspire to learn more about serving the public throughout DC and nationwide. Our chapter hosts several events to encourage networking, lecture-series, and outreach throughout the nation’s universities and community.

I plan to enhance current outreach efforts by organizing the chapter’s internal structures – restructuring the roles and responsibilities of Board members, and establishing a formal volunteer recruitment system. Through these initiatives, I hope to maximize your experience with NCAC and continue to promote the chapter’s commitment to excellence in the public administration.  

I am very excited about this year and hope that you will continue to support NCAC!

Maile Aurthur,
President
