For more than 80 years, ASPA’s commitment to its members has afforded us the privilege of encouraging and supporting scholars and practitioners in the public administration field. The www.aspanet.org website page “About ASPA” provides information about the mission of advancing excellence in public administration through chapters, sections, publications, conferences and strategic initiatives.

This website is sponsored by the three most prominent organizations in professional public service and education: our national ASPA organization; NASPAA (Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration); and APPAM (Association of Public Policy and Administration). This website features information on finding jobs, career advice, and information on degrees in public service and public affairs.
The Keystone State Chapter of ASPA is a statewide organization that serves members from all regions of Pennsylvania. Given the current challenges faced by public institutions and public servants, it has become increasingly important to support those who provide essential public services. ASPA does this in many ways, primarily as the critical bridge between public administration scholarship and practitioners in the field.
As a member of ASPA, you can join other chapter members in supporting our Society’s goal to advance the art, science, teaching and practice of public and nonprofit administration by:
- Promoting the value of joining and elevating the public service profession.
- Building bridges among all who pursue public purposes at home and internationally.
- Providing networking and professional development opportunities to those committed to public service values.
- Achieving innovative solutions to the challenges of governance.
