Nadia Rubaii I have asked NASPAA committee and section chairs for their assistance in this strategic planning process. Specifically, I have asked that each committee and section identify what they see as their own priorities and major concerns for the next 3 to 5 years and what they would like NASPAA to address. These ideas from member programs that bubble up from the committees and sections will inform the council’s strategic planning deliberations. The council will also examine the big-picture issues, such as whether NASPAA’s name—particularly the use of the term National in our name—still accurately and appropriately reflects the Association’s expanding membership and the context in which it is pursuing its mission. In 2009, Jeff Raffel raised this issue in his presidential remarks as something that NASPAA would need to look at “one day,” and I am pleased to announce that that day has come. In the coming year, Jeff will lead a task force to examine options and gather input from NASPAA members that will inform the Executive Council and may generate a formal proposal for consideration by the membership one year from now. DIVERSITY AND SOCIAL EQUITY MATTER. We cannot simply do things the right way at NASPAA, we need to do the right things and promote the right values. NASPAA must be a leader in ensuring representativeness, promoting the values of diversity in its many forms, and advancing the cause of social equity. The MSI initiative should be expanded in the coming year and then institutionalized to provide ongoing support not only to HBCUs and HCIs, but to other member programs that may benefit from technical assistance. It is also time for us to direct our attention outward to promote public policies that advance greater social equity and to speak out against those that are an affront to social justice. In the spirit of the cautionary advice of Edmund Burke, that “the only thing necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing,” we cannot be silent on the social issues of our time. Many professional associations aspire to be apolitical, and while being nonpartisan may be a reasonable goal, apolitical is no more value-neutral than efficiency, and we debunked that notion years ago. NASPAA need not convert to a lobbying or advocacy organization, but neither can we can simply pretend that nothing is happening when, for example, blatantly discriminatory anti-immigration policies are being enacted across the country. NASPAA should be partnering with professional organizations committed to social equity and diversity such as the International Hispanic Network, the National Forum of Black Public Administrators, ASPA’s Conference of Minority Public Administrators, and NAPA’s Task Force on Social Equity and Governance. I would like to see the newly merged Diversity and Social Equity Committee take the lead in advising me and the council on appropriate NASPAA-level actions in this area, and to have panels at next year’s conference that include representatives of these organizations and address these issues. 4 Journal of Public Affairs Education
Leading by Example: Modeling Global Public Service Excellence GLOBAL LEADERSHIP. It is time for NASPAA to stop talking about becoming a global leader in quality public affairs education and accreditation and accept that it already is. We are in demand, we are sought out, and we are recognized. Now we have a responsibility to serve the profession in this expanded role. We need to approach this task both with confidence and humility. We should be confident because we have a longer history and a more sophisticated accreditation review system for public affairs programs than any other nation or region, and so we have much to offer. And we must be humble because we have much to learn, including how to define concepts of diversity, accountability, transparency, and democratic governance in a non-U.S. context. NASPAA needs to show more resolve in promoting global cooperation and exercising global leadership with the associations around the world who share our commitment to enhancing the quality of public affairs education, such as EAPPA, INPAE, IASIA, NISPACee, and CAPPA. Each of these associations operates in a unique environment, so a one-size-fits-all approach to partnering with NASPAA is not realistic. Instead, we need to develop individually tailored agreements to advance our mutual goals in ways appropriate to the specific contexts of each association. At a minimum, we should formalize ways to have regular communication among association leaders and participation in each other’s conferences. In some cases, we may go so far as to arrange for coordinated accreditation reviews, as we did under the terms of the recently approved MOU with EAPPA. In the coming year, I will engage in dialogue with the leaders of these other associations with the goal of improving communication, exploring opportunities to work collaboratively, and developing individualized MOUs with each of them. OUR WORK DOESN’T END AT THE UNIVERSITY DOORS. NASPAA must be proactive in ensuring career paths for graduates of public affairs programs by enhancing the prominence of and promoting the value of professional public service education. NASPAA’s efforts to ensure that graduates of our programs have good jobs available to them requires that NASPAA work with practitioners to better understand what competencies are expected and demanded; that we collect, analyze, and share data about the unique competencies of our graduates; that we negotiate ways for our students to be recognized for these competencies; and that we keep students and graduates informed of the opportunities available to them. Promoting quality public affairs education is not just about what is done within the classrooms in our member programs. During the coming year, we need to continue to be vigilant regarding the Pathways to Federal Careers to ensure that the implementation of the regulations within federal agencies reflects the key provisions that NASPAA worked so hard to have included. And we need to expand our development of specialized Journal of Public Affairs Education 5
