In all, the group of papers offers readers a notion of what to expect at the next annual Teaching Public Administration Conference. Attendees can anticipate a broad range of papers, experiential workshops, and roundtable discussions of pedagogical research, theoretical exploration, creative pedagogical approaches and techniques, and exemplar case studies of teaching experiences. In fact, one of the most commonly heard reactions to the conference is that it is one of the most practically useful experiences for professors, both seasoned and new. We hope to see you in 2010 at Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids, Michigan. — Margaret Stout, Ph.D. West Virginia University Journal of Public Affairs Education vii
Public Values As a Core Element of NASPAA Marvin B. Mandell University of Maryland, Baltimore County EDITOR’S NOTE: Here, JPAE is pleased to provide the text of the presidential address delivered on October 17, 2008, at last year’s Annual Conference of the National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration (NASPAA), in Charleston, South Carolina. For publication as an article, the text of this speech was edited. ABSTRACT The diversity of types of degrees offered by NASPAA member programs creates both challenges and opportunities. One of the most vexing of these challenges concerns the identity of our field. In this address, I suggest that bringing public values to bear upon the analysis and management of organizations, programs, and policies should be a core element of the identity of NASPAA and its member programs. At the same time, it appears that to date we have not been entirely successful in helping society incorporate public values other than economic efficiency into public policy and management. In addition to sharpening the identity of NASPAA and its members, doing a better job of helping society incorporate public values other than economic efficiency into public policy and management can help reverse the erosion of the role of government that we have witnessed over the past four decades. <strong>PUBLIC</strong> VALUES AS A CORE ELEMENT <strong>OF</strong> NASPAA The coming year promises to be, for better or worse, an interesting one for NASPAA and its member programs, as well as our profession. Regardless of the outcome of the upcoming presidential election, it seems fair to say that both the confidence in and the expectations of government at all levels will rise — at least in the short run. Combined with a likely recession, most of us are expecting greater interest in NASPAA programs, which is generally a good thing, even if we don’t know where the budgets to maintain and expand our programs will come from.
