Form 990, Part III, Line 1, Description of Organization Mission: The National Academy of Public Administration is an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-partisan organization established in 1967 and chartered by Congress in 1984. To carry out this mission of providing independent solutions for government's most significant challenges, the Academy draws on the knowledge and experience of its over 1,000 Fellows-including former cabinet officers, Members of Congress, governors, mayors, and state legislators, as well as prominent scholars, career public administrators, and non?profit and business executives. Supported by a full-time professional staff, our Fellows bring their insights, experience, successes, and lessons learned straight to our clients through independent thought leadership, in-depth studies and analyses, advisory services and technical assistance, congressional testimony, forums and conferences, and stakeholder engagement. As outlined in its Congressional charter, the Academy seeks to advance government practices through studies and projects held to the highest standards of efficiency and excellence. From its founding, the Academy's commitment to good governance drives the organization forward and inspires its work. Name Description: Studies and Advisory Services: The Academy provides a full range of advisory services to federal, state, and local agencies, with particular emphasis on organizational assessments & strategy development; implementation support & technical assistance; performance management; and stakeholder outreach & collaboration. The Academy has helped agencies at all levels of government through research, analysis, problem]solving, strategic planning, and thought leadership. See Schedule O for highlights of fiscal year 2024 program service accomplishments. Form 990, Part III, Line 4a, Program Service Accomplishments: NSF OPP The National Science Foundation engaged the Academy to review the Office of Polar Programs' (OPP) organizational and management structure and explore opportunities to improve mission delivery; examine OPP's alignment within NSF, Directorate for Geosciences, and with externally facing stakeholders; and optimize OPP's organizational structure. Navy Working Capital Fund The Assistant Secretary of the Navy commissioned the Academy to evaluate how resource management decisions impact the Navy Work Capital Fund (NWCF) and identify strategies for improving decision-making processes to safeguard the fund's integrity and the Department of Navy's operational efficacy. The report examined the effect of resource management decisions-including programmatic, budgetary, and execution-on the NWCF. Furthermore, it assesses whether program and budget development decision-makers consider the potential impacts of their choices on the NWCF. Google AI Google engaged the Academy to conduct a detailed examination of the impact that AI has on municipal economies. This project comprehensively analyzed AI's benefits and challenges and delivered an actionable and clear framework to local governments. The report included detailed case studies, a public policy white paper, and a municipal economy readiness framework. Balancing Data Sharing and Privacy to Enhance Integrity and Trust in Government Programs The Program Integrity Alliance contracted with the Academy to conduct a study to address the inherent tensions between increased data sharing and protecting individual privacy rights in the context of program integrity and fraud prevention. The study explored how government agencies can expand data-sharing initiatives to enhance fraud prevention and program efficiency without compromising privacy and addressed issues of required potential legal, regulatory, or policy changes across government agencies. Federal Aviation Administration Unmanned Aircraft Systems Pursuant to the 2024 FAA Reauthorization Act, the Academy conducted an assessment of FAA Unmanned Aircraft System to assess the current state of partnerships for research, development, demonstration, and testing; provide the FAA with recommendations and strategies to more effectively promote the development of unmanned aircraft systems and advanced air mobility; and to ensure the safe integration of unmanned aircraft systems into the national airspace system. The Agile Pathway for Policymaking The Freeman Charitable Trust has engaged the Academy to develop a report that deepens the understanding and practice of how Agile Government principles, concepts, and best practices can be incorporated into policy development, implementation, and evaluation at all levels of government. This study is conducting an analysis to bring together those who develop policy with those who implement policy earlier and more frequently; involve human-centered design and mechanisms to capture user feedback during policy development and implementation; leverage behavioral insights about how the public interacts with policy and programs to ensure they are designed and delivered in ways that meet the needs of the public; and create iterative processes for continuous learning throughout implementation and to be updated in real time to meet user needs. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 1a The Executive Committee consists of the Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, and Treasurer and two additional members recommended and appointed by the Chair with majority approval of the Board members in office. The President shall serve as a non-voting member of the Executive Committee except in matters dealing with his or her employment, compensation, and/or performance evaluation. To the extent provided in a Board resolution, the Committee shall exercise the authority of the Board at such time as it is not in session, when prompt action is required and when it is not practicable to call the Board into session. The Secretary shall prepare a summary of any actions taken and promptly distribute them to each Director. This summary shall be available to Academy members upon request. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 6 The Academy has three classes of membership which are the Fellows, Senior Fellows, and the Honorary Fellows. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7a Each year the Fellows shall elect Directors to replace those whose terms then expire, and such Directors shall hold office for three years or until successors are elected and qualified. Form 990, Part VI, Section A, line 7b The Academy's Bylaw changes are subject to approval by the membership of Fellows. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 11b The Federal Form 990 is reviewed by the CFO and CEO and then distributed to the Academy's Board of Directors prior to filing with the Internal Revenue Service. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 12c The Academy has three written conflict of interest policies: one for its staff; one for its Board of Directors; and one for its Fellows and other experts who serve on project/study panels. The Academy's staff is required to disclose interests that could give rise to conflicts when hired and as they occur. Such potential conflicts of interest are to be disclosed to the president. Potential conflicts are reviewed on a case-by-case basis, and if it is determined that a conflict of interest exists, the Academy may require that participation in the activity cease immediately. Depending upon the nature and severity of the conflict, conflicts of interest and/or failure to disclose potential conflicts, may result in disciplinary action, up to and including termination of employment. Board members are required to disclose actual and potential conflicts of interest to the executive committee of the Academy's board of directors whenever a conflict arises. The disinterested members of the executive committee make a determination as to whether a conflict exists. The Academy's fellows and outside experts who are asked to participate on project/study panels are required to complete and submit a conflict of interest form, including a written statement that outlines any potential conflict or potential source of bias, if applicable, and to promptly report any potential conflicts or potential sources of bias that may arise during the course of the project/study. These forms are reviewed by the project director, and any that include potential conflicts or potential sources of bias are referred to the Director of Academy Programs, President and General Counsel for review and consideration. If a significant conflict or source of bias is found to exist, the matter may be addressed by (a) disqualifying the individual from participating as a member of the panel in question, or (b) appointing other panel members so as to obtain a balance of differing backgrounds or perspectives. If any potential conflicts or potential sources of bias are reported by an individual, and the individual is not disqualified from serving on the panel, the potential conflicts or potential sources of bias are disclosed orally at a public meeting of the panel and posted on the Academy's website. Form 990, Part VI, Section B, line 15a The Academy's Chairman of the Search Committee along with the Board of Directors determines the compensation of its current President & CEO. The Search Committee examines other similar organizations, and uses those figures along with the outgoing incumbent's compensation to determine the current President & CEO's compensation. Discussions pertaining to the President's compensation are held in executive session and are reflected in the President & CEO's contract. A review of raises and bonuses is performed during December, however, the last full development of compensation criteria for the President & CEO was performed in December 2016 and was reviewed in 2017. The Executive Committee updated the performance criteria in the spring of 2018. Form 990, Part VI, Section C, line 19 The Academy's Congressional Charter is posted on its website. The Federal Form 990 is posted on www.guidestar.org. The Academy's other governing documents, conflict of interest policy, and full financial statements are available to the public upon request.
