NFBPA AmeriCorps VISTA Lead
 
 
 
The National Forum for Black Public Administrators (NFBPA) is the principal and most progressive organization dedicated to the advancement of Black public leadership in local and state governments. Its members include city and county managers, department directors, program administrators, and other leaders who are skilled in all areas of local government management, to include: city and county governments, public safety (Police, Fire, EMS and Emergency Management), finance and budget, communications, urban planning, procurement, human resources, public works, and human services. To achieve its mission, NFBPA will be expanding its national impact and reach through AmeriCorps VISTA. VISTA members will be working on a variety of exciting projects including public and private partnerships, needs assessments, relationship development with stakeholders, citizen engagement, and work with volunteers and consultants in the field. The VISTA Lead and Members will be working closely with NFBPA national staff and/or local city and county leaders who serve as mentors and guides in the field of public administration. NFBPA will be bringing on 10 VISTA members in a variety of locations: VISTA Lead in Washington, DC, two members in Washington, DC to build national public and private partnerships, four members in South Florida and three members in Northeast Ohio to manage projects on a local level, tailored to meet the unique needs of the community.
