Pepperdine University–School of Public Policy

I’ve been fortunate to have been invited to speak to the graduate students in the MPP Program at Pepperdine University.

Stephen G. Harding has nearly four decades of professional public and private sector experience in municipal management, privatization of public service delivery systems, organizational design, urban planning,economic development, redevelopment, real estate development and public finance.
As a passionate mentor to the next generation of public sector professionals, Harding will discuss with students “The Whys of Public Service,” specifically why local government is a good career choice for people who want to make a difference in their world. He will also touch on his current interests in building a culture of civic awareness and public service within public sector organizations, producing effective public service delivery systems through regional cooperation, and the importance of civic responsibility.
