As we approach the end of the year, we wanted to share a note of optimism for what lies ahead with our "Stories of Service: Reflections on Purpose, Progress, and the Path Ahead" panel from the 2025 Academy National Conference. 

This panel opens with Academy President and CEO James-Christian Blockwood then features moving stories from former IRS Commissioner Danny Werfel, former Fiscal Assistant Secretary at the US Department of the Treasury David Lebryk, Deputy CEO of SoundTransit Victoria Wassmer, former USDA Undersecretary for Rural Development Basil Gooden, and COO/CFO Katie Malague of the Maryland Department of Management and Budget. 

Each panelist shared a story of how and why public service matters to them. We hope you'll enjoy!

Management Matters is a presentation of the National Academy of Public Administration produced by Lizzie Alwan and Matt Hampton and edited by Matt Hampton.
