Free ASPA Membership Benefit
Through our partnership with the American Society of Public Administration (ASPA), LACMC is pleased to provide you with a complimentary basic ASPA Membership.
The ASPA Membership includes access to a range of electronic resources, including the Bridge, ASPA’s twice-monthly e-newsletter, and PA TIMES Online, ASPA’s twice-weekly collection of original columns and articles covering public service from www.patimes.org. In addition, via emails, you will receive invitations to participate in live webinars, calls for proposals for various (digital) conferences around the globe, dozens of articles and op-eds written by and for public administrators, and much more.
If you have already signed up to receive this LACMC benefit last year, your free membership will continue and no further action is required. To register for the complimentary ASPA Membership for the first time, please complete the online form here.
In addition to the the benefits above, LACMC members receive $20 off per year toward full ASPA membership as a part of this partnership. Full membership allows for additional benefits, including access to an archive of over 160 hours of webinar and e-learning content.
