On behalf of the National Academy of Public Administration, Rutgers University – Newark, and John Jay College of Criminal Justice, we thank you for considering sponsoring the 25th annual SELC. This year’s theme is: “Leading and Learning Toward a Future for All.” Your support is instrumental in ensuring that we foster important conversations that inform leadership action during these challenging times.
This year’s conference will be held May 28-30, 2026, at Rutgers University – Newark in Newark, New Jersey and will bring together policy makers, practitioners, scholars, and students for a national dialogue to challenge our thinking and stimulate our collective, creative efforts in advancing fairness, opportunity, and justice for all through cutting edge leadership. Thanks to sponsors like you, we can keep registration fees modest and create an accessible, welcoming space for all attendees. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to the conference co-chairs.
