NASPAA - National Association of Schools of Public Affairs and Administration

This year's NASPAA Annual Conference held in Kansas City, MO, was a great success. The 380 deans, directors and faculty who attended came away with something very positive about what NASPAA is doing to better our field in public affairs, public administration and public policy.

We would like to thank The University of Kansas, The University of Missouri-Columbia, and The University of Missouri, Kansas City for sponsoring the Thursday evening reception and providing students to support this conference.

Special thank to the schools that generously purchased conference sponsorships: American University School of Public Affairs, University of Texas LBJ School of Public Affairs, Texas A&M University Bush School of Government, Baruch College/City University of New York, School of Public Affairs, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, CUNY Department of Public Management and University of Colorado - Denver School of Public Affairs. To Carl W. Steinberg and the Conference Program Committee, we express our heartfelt appreciation and gratitude for making this conference a success.
