Welcome to the NECoPA 2019 Conference!

On behalf of the NECoPA Conference Planning Committee, Officers, and Board of Trustees, I warmly welcome you to LIU-Brooklyn for the 2019 NECoPA Conference entitled “NECoPA

2019: Building an Equitable Public Service through Sustainability and Innovation.” A decade ago, the first-ever NECoPA Conference, “Public Service Under Pressure” called for a reimagining of public governance in light of the 21st-century fiscal envi-ronment. Ten years later public governance and democratic values are still under pres-sure, public institutions are being challenged more than ever before and the politics of division has become an unprecedented norm. We are excited that this year’s confer-ence provides topical research, best practices and evidence-based solutions that fashion a public service that is innovative, inclusive and empowers traditionally marginalized communities within the reality of fiscal constraints.

Highlighting the 2019 Conference are our three keynote lectures. The Saturday morn-ing plenary will be given by Council Member Adrienne E. Adams, the first woman to be elected to represent City Council District 28 in Queens, N.Y., the easternmost and largest in area of the five boroughs of New York City; our Saturday luncheon keynote, Carol Aguirre, is the Director of K-12 Special Populations at the NYC Department of Education's Office of Teacher Recruitment and Quality, the largest city school district in the country. She comes to us with over twelve years of experience advocating for public education, underserved populations and gender equity, including an appointment in President Obama’s Administration located at the U.S. Department of Educa-tion. These keynote addresses will take place on campus at The Brooklyn Paramount Theatre. The “Paramount” operated from 1928-1962 as a live performance venue and was the first theater in the world designed to show talking movies. Performances at the Paramount included artists such as Frank Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald, Miles Davis, Bing Crosby, Buddy Holly, and Chuck Berry. On Sunday, please join us at the University’s Cyber Café (Freshens) where Public Advocate, Jumaane D. Williams will deliver the Sunday luncheon keynote address. Among other accomplishments, Public Advocate Williams sponsored the Community Safety Act aimed to end the abuse of the NYPD’s use of stop, question and frisk. He has been arrested more than any other sitting elected official, fighting for women’s rights, immigration rights, housing rights, police injus-tices and more.
