>Hello, PA colleagues. We are interested in proposing a new ASPA section,
>titled "Democracy and Social Justice." The statement of purpose for the
>proposed section is:
>
>
>Proposed ASPA section on Democracy and Social Justice. Since its inception,
>public administration has addressed issues of democracy and social justice
>and these issues are of interest to many ASPA sections. In recent years,
>the focus has increasingly been on the role of the field and individual
>public administrators in promoting social justice. Though the professional
>public service implements policies adopted by elected leaders, it also
>plays a significant role in public understanding of societal conditions and
>in shaping policy formulation and implementation. Members of the proposed
>new section would explore administrative and political alternatives at all
>levels of government and promote constructive social change through
>teaching, research, practice, conferences, and publications. The section
>would also consult with other ASPA sections to focus on shared concerns
>about democracy and social justice.
>
>         To form a new section, ASPA requires support of one percent of the
>membership, currently 85 members. The people whose names are listed below
>join us in asking whether you would be willing to participate in this
>effort. To support the application for a new section, please send an email
>message to Mr. Qiushi Wang, wqs204 at gmail.com, by June 1. The message should
>include your name, organizational affiliation, mailing address, phone
>number, and email address.
>
>Thank you for considering our request, and please write us if you have
>questions.
