MR. VOLCKER TO AWARD FIRST ENDOWMENT GRANTS AT 2003 APSA MEETINGS IN PHILADELPHIA

Because of your generosity, the Section for Public Administration will be able to award its first Volcker Endowment research grant(s) to junior scholars at the 2003 APSA meetings in Philadelphia.

And to make this a very special occasion, we are delighted to announce that Mr. Volcker will be joining us at the APSA meetings to award the first grant(s). Mr. Volcker also has graciously agreed to participate in a featured interview session immediately preceding the awarding of grants to junior scholars. A reception honoring Mr. Volcker for his exemplary contributions to enhancing and promoting the practice and image of public service will follow these sessions. We're looking forward to seeing you there!

To this point, over 80+ colleagues and anonymous donors in the PA Section have pledged or contributed over $70,000 to the Paul A. Volcker Endowment for Public Service Research and Education.
