2012 Joan Fiss Bishop Award winner
Lydia will receive the award in Las Vegas at the 2012 National ASPA Conference at the SWPA Awards Breakfast on Monday - March 5th.
Congratulations, Lydia!

Created in 1985 to honor Joan Fiss Bishop - ASPA's women's movement founder and former National Council member who co-chaired the ASPA Women's Caucus in Denver, Colorado (April 1971) and chaired ASPA's Task Force on the Status of Women in Public Administration (1971-1973) - one of the first created by a professional association. The Task Force gave rise to the ASPA National Committee on Women in Public Administration (1973-1982), and subsequently the Section for Women in Public Administration (SWPA) was established in 1982. Fiss Bishop is believed to be the first person to serve as career services director at four different colleges and universities, including Emmanuel College, Radcliffe College, Wellesley College, and Harvard Graduate School of Design.

Award Criteria: Honors an individual, who by example and action, has: 1) promoted increased participation of women in the public administration profession; 2) exhibited defined contribution to increased involvement in the public sector; 3) demonstrated innovative leadership and accomplished professionalism in their own public sector career; and 4) made a commitment to the public administration profession through membership in ASPA.
