Our Annual Fall Symposium is the highlight of TN-ASPA’s year, providing regional public and nonprofit professionals as well as faculty and students in related fields with a full day of relevant programming on current topics in public service.
The 2013 Symposium on the theme “The Workforce of the Future” will take place on Thursday, December 12 at the One Century Place Conference Center in Nashville (map; directions), near the airport. We have planned an exciting and varied line-up of speakers and topics. Please take a moment to register in advance if you plan to attend, and pay before December 1 to obtain the early bird rate. Your registration includes continental breakfast and the Awards Luncheon; a vegetarian option will be available. As in years past, NASBA CPE credits will be offered.
Again this year, a poster session with anticipated participation by practitioners, academics and students will be included in the day’s events – please read the 2013 Call for Poster Presentations – a brief form including a 500-word abstract describing the proposed poster is due by November 22 15 (note extended deadline!) as described in the call. Those whose poster proposals are accepted are expected to register and pay for conference attendance. Poster proposals are welcomed in three areas: 1) Human Resource Management, Planning and Development; 2) Organizational Development; and 3) General Public Administration.
