November 2009 Roundtable with Former Congressman Tom Davis
This November the Center for Public Administration and Policy Round Table on Leadership and Administration featured the Honorable Tom Davis, former Congressman from the 11th district of Virginia, as the guest speaker. The Round Table, "Leadership through Oversight: Politics and Administration," focused on Congressman Davis's leadership in Congress, particularly as the Chair of the House Government Reform Committee, and the dynamics and challenges of legislative oversight of government agencies.
The Round Table drew a standing room only crowd of CPAP students, faculty, alumni and friends. Davis's insights on the response to Hurricane Katrina, government contracting, developing the federal work force, and information technology policy, among others, created an engaging and informational forum enjoyed by all. Anne Khademian, director of CPAP in Alexandria and co-host of the Round Table with Dr. Colleen Woodard, noted the importance for the CPAP community, and the broader public administration field to develop a richer understanding of Congress and the oversight process and dynamics to improve communication and to enhance the performance of public programs. "Tom Davis was a remarkable leader in Congress with a commitment to strong public policy and strong administration of programs, and his experiences in Congress are very valuable for everyone interested in improving the policy process."

Roundtable Report - July 2007
The final report from the July 2007 Roundtable on Leadership and Administration is now available.
This Roundtable was devoted to a CPAP community effort to strategize and guide our future forums on developing and understanding leadership and administration. Stepping outside the scholar/practitioner format we have followed for the Roundtable, we asked three CPAP doctoral students to lead this Roundtable discussion with specific audience engagement.
CPAP is glad to share this resource with interested students and scholars. Feedback or questions about the report are encouraged and may be submitted to this blog posting.

CPAP’s very own Susan Maybaumwisniewski framed and moderated a discussion with CPAP PhD students Maria DiPasquantonio and Jeff Stern, followed by breakout discussions with CPAP students. The report also reflects the reporting out from the breakout groups.
