Northeast Conference on Public Administration 2

Welcome to the NECoPA 2019 Conference!

On behalf of the NECoPA Conference Planning Committee, Officers, and Board of Trustees, I warmly welcome you to LIU- Brooklyn for the 2019 NECoPA Conference entitled “NECoPA 2019: Building an Equitable Public Service through Sustainability and Innovation.” A decade ago, the first-ever NECoPA Conference, “Public Service Under Pressure” called for a reimagining of public governance in light of the 21st-century fiscal envi- ronment. Ten years later public governance and democratic values are still under pressure, public institutions are being challenged more than ever before and the politics of division has become an unprecedented norm. We are excited that this year’s conference provides topical research, best practices and evidence-based solutions that fashion a public service that is innovative, inclusive and empowers traditionally marginalized communities within the reality of fiscal constraints.

Highlighting the 2019 Conference are our three keynote lectures. The Saturday morn- ing plenary will be given by Council Member Adrienne E. Adams, the first woman to be elected to represent City Council District 28 in Queens, N.Y., the easternmost and largest in area of the five boroughs of New York City; our Saturday luncheon keynote, Carol Aguirre, is the Director of K-12 Special Populations at the NYC Department of Education's Office of Teacher Recruitment and Quality, the largest city school district in the country. She comes to us with over twelve years of experience advocating for public education, underserved populations and gender equity, including an appointment in President Obama’s Administration located at the U.S. Department of Educa- tion. These keynote addresses will take place on campus at The Brooklyn Paramount Theatre. The “Paramount” operated from 1928-1962 as a live performance venue and was the first theater in the world designed to show talking movies. Performances at the Paramount included artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Bing Crosby, Buddy Holly, and Chuck Berry. On Sunday, please join us at the University’s Cyber Café (Freshens) where Public Advocate, Jumaane D. Williams will deliver the Sunday luncheon keynote address. Among other accomplishments, Public Advocate Williams sponsored the Community Safety Act aimed to end the abuse of the NYPD’s use of stop, question and frisk. He has been arrested more than any other sitting elected official, fighting for women’s rights, immigration rights, housing rights, police injus- tices and more.

Please also join us for Friday afternoon’s Super Panel, WPS-AWPA Super Panel: Pro- moting Gender Equity in Policing and Prisons, from 3:30 – 4:45 in the Health Science Building (HS) 107. We invite you to Friday evening’s Reception at Fulton Hall located nearby at 250 Ashland Place, and Saturday evening’s Reception located on the 4th floor of the University’s Wellness Center. There are over 35 exciting plenaries, roundtables and poster presentations on a variety of topics including Diversity, Access to healthcare/health policy, Public finance, Social equity and social justice, Sex and gender in the public sector, and The future of public service in the Trump era. Please see the Conference Program for further details.
