The 2006 Southeastern Conference for Public Administration, co-sponsored by UGA’s Carl Vinson Institute of Government and the Georgia chapter of the American Society for Public Administration, will be held Sept. 27-30 at the Classic Center. Speakers for the event include Harvey White, ASPA president-elect; Don Kettl, director of the Fels Institute of Government at Pennsylvania State University; Robert Golembiewski, UGA Distinguished Research Professor; and Hamilton Jordan, chief of staff for former U.S. President Jimmy Carter and UGA temporary faculty member. SECoPA will feature several panel sessions,
a symposium on disaster management and a professional development track for public sector professionals.
“Today’s government practitioners confront an increasingly diverse number of issues each day,” said Steve Condrey, Vinson Institute faculty member and conference co-chair. “Our conference theme of bridging theory, policy and practice represents our intention to have sessions that are of value to both the academic and public sector communities.”
