The EMPA Mission
The EMPA Program increases the efficacy of public officials for ethical, competent, and effective public service leadership in federal, state, local, special district, tribal, and nonprofit organizations. The program integrates theory and practice through a process of co-production, engaging community groups and citizens, public service executives, academic colleagues, and practitioners with the Center for Public Service.
The purpose of this mission is to produce professionals who will effectively fulfill their organization’s mission, enhance citizen engagement, and promote democratic governance.
