The 2025 ASPA Annual Conference was held in Washington, D.C. at The Mayflower Hotel during March 28 through April 1, 2025. Our National Capital Area Chapter (NCAC) co-sponsored with the Iowa Chapter a session titled “Reception and Relationships: First-Timers and Others!” on March 28. Wendy Chen, NCAC treasurer and session co-facilitator with Iowa Chapter representative Tom Becker, moderated the overflow audience at the session designed to jump-start conference participation and conversations.

The NCAC also sponsored a presidential panel on March 30 titled “Trust in Government.” Overall, both sessions and the entire Annual Conference were exceedingly successful.
