Welcome to the National Forum for Black Public Administrators

"Greater Little Rock Chapter"

The members of the "Greater Little Rock Chapter" of NFBPA would like to officially invite you to explore the possibilities of joining forces with our Local Chapter of the National Forum of Black Public Administrators.

This organization is the nation's premier association for Black Public Leadership, with a growing and proud reputation for strengthening the capacity of state and local government managers in a multitude of disciplines, through intensive training, professional development programs, and a powerful network of Black public leadership.

As our Mission states we strive to strengthen the position of Blacks within the fields of public administration and to increase the number of Blacks appointed to executive positions in public service organizations. More importantly we work to prepare younger, aspiring administrators for senior public management posts in the years ahead.

NFBPA membership has grown to include managers and executives in virtually all disciplines represented in state and local governments. In addition to public service professionals, the association's membership embraces graduate students, deans and faculty at schools of public administration.
