Welcome

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

It is a great pleasure and honor for me to invite you to the 9 th International Congress of the International Association on Public and Nonprofit Marketing (IAPNM 2010), organized by the National School of Political Studies and Public Administration (NSPSPA), in Bucharest, Romania, on 10 – 11 June 2010. The public and nonprofit marketing are witnessing a great development in Europe and the world, with regard to both the theoretic and normative framework and the practices’ framework, which in the Europeanization and globalization context gain the signification of “good practices”.

Therefore, the Congress’s general topic that we are advancing is “Regulation and Best Practices in Public and Nonprofit Marketing ”.

On one hand, the topic will embody an interdisciplinary approach but, at the same time, comprehensive enough to cover the highly present issues of extending the best practices and regulations to the academic and public affairs environments in Europe and the world.

As a young university, the National School of Political Studies and Public Administration (NSPSPA), Bucharest, is and will be the promoter of new development trends of public and nonprofit marketing in Romanian and, with priority, in other South-Eastern European states.

Organizing the 9th International Congress of IAPNM represents a recognition of NSPSPA prestige and contribution inside IAPNM as well as in the more general framework of the inter-university cooperation in the field of the public affairs’ programs. The program of the Congress will be joined by an attractive social program that will contribute to a better knowledge of the Romanian beauties and hospitality.

For this Congress’s organization, we have been supported and still are supported by the President of IAPNM, José Luis Vázquez Burguete, to whom we present our peer thanks, and we express our hope that through our cooperation and of all the other members of IAPNM we will reach the expectations of students, professors, researchers and practitioners in the field of public and nonprofit marketing.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the scientific and professional dialogue favored by the organization of the Congress.

Sincerely yours,

  

Professor Lucica Matei
President of the 9th International Congress
