ABOUT THE CENTEX ASPA CHAPTER

The CENTEX Chapter of ASPA is an organization that is dedicated to connecting and informing public sector, not-for-profit sector, and private sector, practitioners with each other and with faculty, staff and students at public administration and public policy universities in Central Texas. The CENTEX Chapter works to bring professional education and networking opportunities to its members and promote research on important public policy and administration issues.

As a professional society, CENTEX ASPA invites public administration practitioners and academics to meetings and events such as the annual public service recognition week banquet, which is held annually in the month of May. In cooperation with universities in the CENTEX Region, the Chapter conducts live-Zoom and in-person meetings throughout the year.

Dating back more than 30 years, CENTEX ASPA is dedicated to promoting the ethical values and technical competencies associated with outstanding public service.
