2026 NASPAA Award Committee Volunteer Form

Review the full awards details here: https://www.naspaa.org/membership/naspaa-awards

It is our hope that our award recipients will reflect the great diversity that is within our global network. Therefore we are seeking volunteers who recognize the value of doing a lot with a little. We seek faculty/staff and alumni who are not only from diverse backgrounds, but whose leadership, research, and/or body of work has contributed to a deeper understanding of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion both domestically and internationally. We seek to recognize not just those schools that have made a huge impact on public service education but also those who innovated impressive solutions despite limited resources.

Deadline to Volunteer: Wednesday, February 18

Winners will be announced in August 2026.

If you have any questions, please contact membership@naspaa.org
