The standards for NASPAA’s accredited programs have been updated to reflect the importance of transparent, accountable, participatory, and equitable approaches in a globalized world, the critical role that diversity, equity and inclusion must play in public service education, and the need to bring nonprofit management to the core of the field.
With the long-tenured and highly regarded executive director, Laurel McFarland, stepping down, this is an outstanding opportunity for a leader who is passionate about, and committed to, public service. In this role, they will guide NASPAA through its next phase of development and growth, identifying new priorities, programs and initiatives.
