At the end of 2021, I am again reminded why public administration is so important. We are closing out the second year of a global pandemic. We see disparities throughout numerous dimensions of public service. Long standing policy and administrative issues are leading to new ones. Across all of these considerations, the important work of public administrators is evident, and it is precisely because of this importance that it is critical that public service agencies must be accountable for social equity.
