Doreen Swetkis, Evergreen’s MPA Director, attended the Network of Schools of Public Policy, Affairs, and Administration (NASPAA) annual conference Oct. 10-13, 2018, in Atlanta.  NASPAA is a Washington, D.C..-based nonprofit membership association of graduate education programs in public administration, public policy, and public affairs at universities in the United States and abroad.  While there were many takeaways from the vast array of presenters, a particularly useful strategy emerged from the panel on women leaders in tumultuous times: “Advance your agenda with compassion or you won’t move it forward.”
