The National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) and the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA) launched this project to inform incoming national leaders about policy and management challenges facing the Nation. This effort includes the release of a series of memoranda outlining these challenges and recommending solutions representing a consensus of the best thinking by public management practitioners and researchers across the country.
The memoranda have been developed with both a Presidential and Congressional focus, reflecting the joint ownership of problems and solutions for these major challenges. We have produced memoranda in the following nine key areas, outlined below. These memos are the opinions and views of their respective authors, and are not the opinions of The National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA) and the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA).
This is the final publication, incorporating nine of the memos to National Leaders. This publication was featured at the May 22, 2013 event held at the Russell Senate Office Building--guest speakers included Senator Mark Warner and the Honorable Paul Volcker.
