Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management
The La Follette School of Public Affairs at the University of Wisconsin-Madison has a long standing relationship with the Association for Public Policy Analysis and Management, one of the nation’s premier organizations dedicated to improving public policy and management by fostering excellence in research, analysis and education.
