2010 NASPAA Annual Conference
“Transitions in Public Service”

September 30-October 2, 2010

Rio All-Suite Hotel, Las Vegas, Nevada
Hosted by the University of Nevada, Las Vegas

We’re excited to be meeting this year in Las Vegas, Nevada. We extend our appreciation to the University of Nevada – Las Vegas for hosting the 2010 conference. 

Conference Theme: “Transitions in Public Service”
Through its plenaries and panels the 2010 NASPAA Conference will highlight the many transitions in the public service. These include 1) transitions in our universities, including new approaches to university design and management, the restructuring of traditional disciplines, and efforts to serve students well in a time of limited, if not shrinking, resources; 2) agency transitions, including the succession to a new generation of public leaders, new policy challenges at all levels, and increased efforts to engage citizens in the governance process; and 3) political transitions, such as a renewed emphasis on public service and major new initiatives in a variety of policy areas.
