Details: Ever wonder why some government programs succeed brilliantly and
other programs struggle to achieve their promise and full
potential?

To help answer that question, Deloitte, the National Academy of
Public Administration (NAPA), and the Partnership for Public
Service will host a national launch event for the new book, "If
We Can Put a Man on the Moon: Getting Big Things Done in
Government," co-authored by Eggers and O'Leary. A panel
discussion on how to increase the odds of translating policy
ideas into successful initiatives will also take place at the
launch event.

NAPA Chairman Emeritus, Dwight Ink, one of the longest-serving
senior public servants in the post-war era, is profiled in the
book and will be recognized at the event. Registration
