| Professor Samuel L. Myers, Jr., elected a fellow in the National Academy of Public Administration
Professor Samuel L. Myers, Jr., director of the Roy Wilkins Center for Human Relations and Social Justice, has been elected a fellow in the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA). Fellows provide leadership, analysis, and recommendations on projects commissioned by Congress, federal agencies, state and local governments, and the private sector. Fellows advise and actively participate in Academy studies and testify before Congressional committees on emerging public management challenges. Academy panels recently have advised top FBI leadership on the agency's human capital efforts, offered comprehensive changes to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and constructively advised the National Institutes of Health and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
The Academy has more than 600 elected Fellows, including current and former Cabinet officers, members of Congress, public managers, scholars, business executives, labor leaders, governors, mayors, state legislators, and diplomats. Individuals are suggested for Fellowship by current Fellows, nominated by a committee, and elected based on their sustained and outstanding contribution to the field of public administration.
Myers will be formally inducted on November 15 in Washington, D.C. He will join professor emeritus and former dean Harlan Cleveland (class of 1968), professor and former dean John Brandl (class of 1994), Professor John Bryson (class of 2005), and Dean J. Brian Atwood (class of 2006).
