Critical Conversation: The Practice Gap in Public Administration

Join us on Wednesday, January 14th, from 3:00 - 4:30 p.m. at the Academy's offices (1600 K St. NW, Washington, D.C.) for a timely Critical Conversation: The Practice Gap in Public Administration. Networking reception to follow.

Public administration education and professional development shape how leaders show up in moments of consequence. Co-hosted by the National Academy of Public Administration and the American Society for Public Administration, this Critical Conversation, former senior officials from DHS, DOL, and DOD will reflect on the skills, judgment, and real-world preparation today’s public servants need—and where the gap between training and federal practice remains most visible.
