Since the mid 1970s the American Association for Budget and Program Analysis, the AABPA, has helped federal, state and local government managers and analysts, corporate executives and academic specialists meet the unique challenges of their careers related to the fields of public budgeting and program analysis.

By helping members keep up with the latest developments in their fields, establish and maintain contacts with colleagues, represent their interests and share opportunities, AABPA serves as the key difference between simply having a job and being part of a highly respected and well-trained profession.
