Our Mission
The
mission of the NFBPA is embodied in the organization's commitment to
strengthen the position of Blacks within the field of public
administration; to increase the number of Blacks appointed to executive
positions in public service organizations; and to groom and prepare
younger, aspiring administrators for senior public management posts in
the years ahead.

and academic institutions into an effective network to support
interdisciplinary communications, management innovation and professional
development among Blacks
choosing public service careers.

in response to the specialized needs of Black public sector
professionals.
To identify and groom, emerging Black administrators and provide
relevant exposure to the challenges and rewards of public service

To sponsor and conduct national and regional forums that enable the
discussion of timely issues and topical concerns of the Black community.
To develop and maintain a national information bank on the nation's growing Black public administrative leadership.
