The John Glenn School of Public Affairs at The Ohio State University is honored to host the 10th National Public Management Research Conference in Columbus, Ohio, October 1-3. Since 1991 the Public Management Research Association Conference has become the foremost gathering of leading public management scholars in both the US and around the world. This bi-annual event is sponsored by the Public Management Research Association, which takes a special responsibility to further relations among researchers working in the public policy, public management, nonprofit and governance disciplines in the United States and abroad. PMRA emphasizes the links between the study of public institutions and their management and the study of public policy.
