As the leading professional public service organization bridging the practitioner and academic communities, we have seen our field evolve, become more specialized and face ever increasing pressures on the men and women dedicated to doing the public good. Despite these changes and the passage of time, ASPA has remained steadfast in our mission, one that remains as relevant today as ever before. It is in this spirit that we welcome to Washington, DC for our Society’s 80th Annual Conference. Against the backdrop of unprecedented challenges for our field, it is in many ways appropriate that we gather not only where our national government is rooted, but where state and local governments and private and nonprofit organizations intersect in very special ways. Our host city is a microcosm of our entire public service sector; we all can learn from being here. Our conference theme, A Call for Action: Advancing Public Service, encourages dialogue aimed at generating actionable ideas to help us serve across four critical, high impact areas: infrastructure, public finance, public service and social equity. Our fifth track— global public administration—recognizes that our field is an interconnected one, spanning geographic boundaries. We encourage you to make the most of this conference, including new features that will enable you to engage in different ways. Our five topical tracks provide a focused experience that drills in on our most critical challenges; you can be as concentrated or general as you wish with your learning experience. Taking place throughout the conference pop-up panels will allow you to continue discussions with your peers outside formalized panels. Eighteen presidential panels will bring forth insights on the critical issues of our time from some of the most informed experts across the field. In keeping with our robust history, we will honor individuals who embody the ideals of those for whom our lectures our named, recognizing excellence in practice, academia and advancing social equity, one of ASPA’s core values. We will honor career-long public service excellence through the National Public Service Awards and, of course, recognize the next generation of public service leaders through the 2019 class of Founders’ Fellows. Please join us for the welcome reception, taking place here at the historic Mayflower Hotel, where you can network with colleagues and friends, enjoy entertainment and celebrate our 80th anniversary in style. Taking place Sunday and Monday evenings, university and group receptions will offer even more occasions for you to network with your peers and honor individuals for their accomplishments. We are most grateful to those individuals and organizations that have generously supported our receptions—and the entirety of our conference—through sponsorships, contributions and other gifts. You have made this event possible. We extend a warm greeting to those who have made attending our conference an annual tradition. For those joining us for the first time, we know you will find this conference to be a welcoming place to forge new professional and personal relationships; we hope this is the first of many you will attend. Thank you for attending our Society’s 2019 Annual Conference. We are grateful to each of you for actively and meaningfully engaging in our work. We salute your dedication and commitment to public service, in the United States and around the world.

Also, to us at The School of Public Affairs (SPA) at American University, it’s our hometown. At SPA, we celebrate our shared commitments with ASPA—promoting the value of joining and elevating the public service profession, achieving innovative solutions in governance and providing education and professional development for those committed to public service. This month marks SPA’s 85th anniversary. In 1934, the School of Public Affairs at American University was established to train federal employees with the skills needed for President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s pioneering New Deal legislation. At the school’s dedication, FDR shared his vision for “practical contacts
