Welcome from Conference Chair

We are very pleased to welcome students, faculty and practitioners from all over the Northeast and well beyond!

The University of Vermont’s Community Development and Applied Economics Department (CDAE) supports our Master of Public Administration, and has done so for the past 17 years. Our MPA program has thrived as a result, and has established a strong focus on supporting resilient, strong and just local

communities. I am particularly thankful to CDAE faculty and staff for their ongoing support for the MPA program and for supporting this conference in particular.

When NECOPA President, Dan Bromberg, approached us last year with an invitation to host NECOPA 2017 we saw this as an opportunity to frame a conference that suited our own take on the field of public

administration. As a result, our local planning committee came up with the idea of framing the conference theme around the “changing landscape of community development.”

A simple walk around Burlington, or a more extended stroll or hike through the many small towns that dot Vermont’s working landscape, will reveal a part of the world that has, for the most part, managed to preserve a strong sense of community with vibrant town cores. Vermont’s town meeting culture,

pragmatic approaches, strong desire to collaborate and partner, and a deep appreciation of the natural beauty of this part of the world provide for an exciting backdrop to discuss community development.

Our keynote speaker, Governor Howard Dean, MD, will undoubtedly speak to Vermont’s unique outlook on community, as will our plenary panel on community development in Vermont, involving some of our

state’s community development leaders. We are particularly grateful to have them join us.

As you participate in our two and a half days of panels, posters, plenary sessions and workshops you will have a chance to examine a broad array of topics pertaining to community health, resilience and

welfare. We are particularly excited to have such a strong focus on social justice and social equity weaving throughout the program. Given the events in Washington, I am personally eager to have extended discussions with colleagues about the ways that we can insure that our cities and towns are places

that welcome others, take care of our most vulnerable, and empower voices that have been subject to discrimination and oppression.

We hope you enjoy your time with us!
