Theme: The Administrative State and Rediscovery of the Human Spirit

This year's SECoPA program has been designed to highlight the prospect of human creativity in public administration. The Conference will explore how creativity can cope with financial shortfalls and a multitude of changes and demands including the need for emergency preparedness, the preparation of the next generation of public administrators and to recognize the human element both in the delivery and the receipt of public services.
