The U.S. Public Service Academy has benefited tremendously from the advice and guidance of dozens of experts in higher education. These volunteers are helping us develop a thoughtful Blueprint that will guide the creation of the Academy once our legislation is passed. In Fall 2006, we convened eight task forces that offered recommendations on our initial proposal. Many of our task forces participants joined board members and other interested guests at a Wingspread Conference in February 2007. We now are working on second draft of the Blueprint.
