Call for Papers
GOVERNING FOR A RESILIENT FUTURE
SECoPA 2023 is now accepting proposals for presentations at the annual meeting in Atlanta, Georgia, from Wednesday, September 27 through Saturday, September 30, 2023.
Since 1969, the Southeast Conference for Public Administration has been the home of public administration research and dialogue for the ten-state southeast region. Governing for a resilient future is the theme for SECoPA 2023.
Governments and non-profit organizations in the southeast region and around the globe are adopting new strategies and management approaches to address pressing public policy and management challenges. Public administration research and scholarship can illuminate paths to improve the quality of governance, the equity of program implementation and service delivery, and the long-term social and ecological health of communities. The conference invites research presentations on a wide range of topics within the field of public administration and policy, and we urge potential participants to consider how their work contributes to a resilient future.
Atlanta, Georgia welcomes conference guests to the Atlanta Marriott Marquis (265 Peachtree Center Avenue, Atlanta) for panel presentations, keynote speakers, and conference receptions that provide time for conversations about the role of public administration in a resilient future. Visit the conference website to learn more about conference amenities and sites to see while visiting Georgia’s capital city.
