Challenges to public policy and public management education

In 1986, a small group of public policy faculty gathered at Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, for a conference on what was then a novel enterprise in professional education for public service. The enterprise grew into the dozens of masters programs in policy analysis and management that now cover not only the United States but the globe, and on the 20th anniversary of that influential meeting, APPAM organized a conference at Park City, Utah, where a much larger group of faculty gathered to reflect backwards on how policy analysis education had evolved, and forwards on where it should be going.
