I am pleased to introduce you to a premier network of public administrators representing emerging and seasoned professionals throughout the Nation. From its humble beginnings in South Florida, the National Forum for Black Public Administrators (NFBPA) has served as a catalyst in producing leaders that have made significant changes in communities throughout the country.

It was expressed by Gandhi that we should “be the change we wish to see in the world.” Today, the NFBPA South Florida Chapter has continued to be a leading agent of change providing many opportunities for public administrators resulting in career advancement, educational advancement, and personal growth. Our diverse membership makes us unique, in that, we work in collaboration with organizations from the private and public sector to build bridges that will pave the way for our public administrators to make positive changes in the world.
