The National Academy of Public Administration selected 40 leaders in the field of public administration for the 2018 Class of Academy Fellows. The 2018 class joins nearly 900 Academy Fellows, including former cabinet officers, members of Congress, governors, mayors, and state legislators, as well as prominent scholars, business executives,  nonprofit leaders, and public administrators. Individually, Fellows provide unparalleled insight and experience. Collectively, they are the Academy’s primary vehicle for addressing current and emerging issues and contributing to the intellectual and popular discourse on government.
