Current public and non-profit sector efforts to improve social conditions both in the U.S. and globally leave much room for better achieving systemic and sustainable success. One panacea that has been actively promoted by some is to simply replicate “evidence-based interventions (EBI)” that have been “proven” to be successful in other locations. However, simply replicating EBIs is not likely to work for a variety of reasons, and adapting to context has been pursued as an art without much guidance or empowerment.

Taking an equity-focus in adapting promising interventions has certainly not received much attention. The challenges to implementing EBIs with an equity lens typically are numerous. We offer a practitioner and equity-focused framework and guidance for practitioners for adapting promising interventions for success through more intentional end-user engagement and collaboration.

We draw upon human-centered design principles, and organizational change theory and practice knowledge to provide steps for leaders and practitioners to draw upon when they seek out, and then adapt, implement and scale promising interventions.

The health and economic consequences of the COVID-19 pandemic have been disproportionately borne by ALICE—Asset Limited, Income Constrained, and Employed—households (in 2018, 42 percent of U.S. households were unable to make ends meet). Many ALICE workers are essential, yet despite being critical to keeping the economy running, risk their health for low wages and often no benefits, many ALICE workers have had their hours and wages cut or lost their jobs altogether. These families are likely to fall farther behind in a post-pandemic “normal” without additional policy intervention. This panel will highlight the current challenges ALICE families are facing and share how better data can drive the Biden-Harris policy agenda for an equitable recovery.

2020 was a challenging year for local governments and it became clear that business-as-usual will not work in our new normal. This past year also put into sharp relief the deep institutional inequities for communities of color and the government’s role in perpetuating those inequities. It is with that backdrop the King County International Airport reimagined what community engagement could look like.

KCIA, not to be confused with major commercial airport of SeaTac, is one of the nation’s busiest primary non-hub airports. The airport averages 200,000 takeoffs and landings each year and supports $3.5 billion in local business and over 16,000 jobs. The airport serves small commercial passenger airlines, cargo carriers, the Boeing Company operations, private aircraft owners, helicopters, corporate jets, military and other aircraft.

At the beginning of 2020, the airport was finalizing a Federal Aviation Administration required master plan that provides a blueprint for the next twenty years of operations and capital projects at the airport. Then the pandemic hit and it upended every aspect of life.

The pandemic made us to think outside the box on how to equitably work with community to inform and understand their needs. The airport is a big part of multiple communities and we want to be a good neighbor as we plan for the future of the airport. Given public health guidelines, there would be no business-as-usual public engagement meetings, so it provided us an opportunity to decide what we wanted true engagement to look like in the new digital environment.

Adopted in 2015, there are 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) providing a blueprint for peace and prosperity for the people and the planet. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality and spur economic growth - all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. The original aspiration was to accomplish these goals by 2030, but in order to make that a reality, broad ownership of the SDGs must translate into a strong commitment by all stakeholders to implement the global goals. Our panelists will discuss how local governments in countries around the world have experienced putting these goals into action, programs that have been adopted, best practices that have been found and the likelihood that 2030 remains a realistic target year for completion.

COVID-19 has disproportionately affected communities of color throughout its onslaught and the vaccination roll-out has experienced the same challenges. While black and brown people continue to suffer higher proportions of sickness and death, they are being vaccinated at lower rates than their white counterparts. How are states working to address this problem? Our discussion features people working on this challenge in states across the country who will share what they are seeing, where improvements have been made and the steps necessary to bring equity to communities of color.

ASPA’s Section on Korean Public Administration was approved by ASPA’s National Council in 2010 and, thanks to its leadership’s and members’ tireless commitment and ongoing support, it has been playing a significant role in bridging public administration scholars and practitioners in Korea and the U.S. during that time. The Section also has made considerable progress toward its goals, including contributing to the development of the emerging Korea public administration discipline in theory and research and stimulating research interests in Korea public administration. While SKPA has a relatively short history in ASPA, the relationship between Korean and U.S. public administration is long. Presenters will engage in a roundtable discussion about its lessons learned from the history of the relationship between the two countries, and will recognize how public administration scholars in Korea and the U.S have made connections, commitments and contributions to each other in the past 10 years.

Donald Moynihan is the inaugural McCourt Chair at the McCourt School of Public Policy at Georgetown University. His research examines how to improve how government works and his lecture will look at the role of administrative burdens on public service. The last decade has seen new interest in the study of the frictions that people encounter in their interactions with public services, such as getting a driver's license, accessing the social safety net or pursuing basic civil rights like voting. Such administrative burdens can have big effects, reinforce patterns of inequality and be used in deliberate ways to make programs less accessible and more frustrating to the public. Such burdens present a challenge to public administration to demonstrate both relevance and rigor in a topic the public cares about and matters to policy outcomes. Join us to hear new research on administrative burdens and compare different approaches by the Trump and Biden administrations.

This panel is our first event and we encourage all ASPA members to share ideas, interact with committee members and move COVID-19 discussions forward. It is our pleasure during this hour to host a discussion with high profile individuals who will outline how COVID-19 interacts with a variety of areas of expertise. Panelists include nationals working in four countries - the United States, Qatar, India and Mexico - who will highlight interactions between science and public policy, methodological consideration within COVID-19 policy research, intergovernmentalism challenges, crisis communication requirements, local government considerations and the role of civil society in responding to COVID-19.

Systemic racism has plagued the United States as well as many countries all over the world for centuries. While the equal treatment of all people regardless of their race, ethnic background or gender has been the aspirational ideal, the reality of life in this country has not lived up to this standard. While this systemic racism has manifested itself in many ways, the history and recent incidences of the police excessive use of force against non-white people and Black individuals, in particular, has been a failing of our communities. In 2020, we saw an increased recognition of this problem which is now regarded by an overwhelming majority of Americans as an unacceptable practice.

This work session will include a presentation of a system of police reforms to address incidences of police brutality as well as provide a framework for counteracting community racism and socio-economic disparities that are a result of discrimination.

The two presenters, James Bourey and Richard Myers, are long-time local government managers. An ASPA member, Mr. Bourey has over 37 years as a city and county manager in many locations throughout the country and six years as a consultant to local governments. Mr. Myers has served as a chief of police in many cities as well as provided guidance to other cities faced with a strong community response to police brutality incidences.
