ACADEMY ANNOUNCES NEW FELLOWS: 47 IN THE CLASS OF 2006


Washington, DC — October 26, 2006 — The National Academy of Public Administration is pleased to announce that its Fellowship has elected 47 new Fellows for 2006. The Academy’s more than 600 elected Fellows includes current and former Cabinet officers, members of Congress, public managers, scholars, business executives, labor leaders, governors, mayors, state legislators and diplomats. Individuals are suggested for Fellowship by current Fellows, nominated by a committee, and elected based on their sustained and outstanding contribution to the field of public administration.

Academy Fellows advise and actively participate in Academy studies and testify before Congressional committees on emerging public management challenges. Academy panels recently have advised top FBI leadership on the agency ’s transformation, assisted the National Institutes of Health with their administrative restructuring, examined the short and long-term fiscal future of the United States, and recommended policies, procedures, prison design and surveillance systems to eliminate the problem of prison rape.
“The Academy Nominating Committee of 2006 is extremely pleased and proud of the rich diversity and significant quality of the newly elected Fellows. This new class, one of the largest in our history, increases the intellectual capital of the Academy,” said Nominating Chairs Jonathan Breul and William Hansell, Jr.  Joining them on this year’s nominating committee were Gail Christopher, H. George Fredrickson, David Garrison, Norman Johnson, J. Christopher Mihm, Chester Newland, Thomas Stanton, and Pamela Syfert.

Academy Experts Recommend Strategies for Managing Effectively in Post-9/11 World

“The events of September 11, 2001 revealed serious deficiencies in government organization, systems and management. National Academy of Public Administration Fellows recommend strategies to manage effectively in a post-9/11 world in Meeting the Challenge of 9/11: Blueprints for More Effective Government, published this month.

The book, edited by Fellow Thomas H. Stanton, tackles a wide range of issues, including designing an organization that provides a strong government capacity to deliver services citizens need and deserve; making the Undersecretary for Management a key linchpin in bringing DHS functions together; restoring the President’s capacity to manage effectively; using the imperative of national security to improve federal, state and local relations especially with critical services like police, fire and health; capitalizing on tested and proven management strategies to surmount new and upcoming challenges for our nation; sorting through constitutional alternatives for holding government contractors accountable for the work they perform; and transforming military personnel system policies to avoid staffing crises during the War on Terror.

“This book provides invaluable insights and recommendations on how to improve government organization and performance as our nation faces new and imposing threats here and abroad,” Academy President Howard Messner said.
