NECoPA – Northeast Conference on Public Administration

The Northeast Conference on Public Administration, Inc. (NECoPA) was founded in October 2010 at the School of Public Affairs and Administration (SPAA) at Rutgers University–Newark. As an organization, NECoPA provides support for universities in the northeast region as they work to plan and host the annual NECoPA conference. This event, the annual regional conference of the American Society for Public Administration (ASPA), is intended to provide educational opportunities for scholars (faculty and students), practitioners (administrators and policymakers), and others interested in public service in a collaborative environment by educating the general public and members of the organization on current issues, research, and practice in public and nonprofit organizations.
