DMN Workshop
For the past 19 years, SICA has sponsored an annual workshop on development management issues in association with the Development Management Network (DMN). 

The DMN is an informal association of about 1,000 professionals in the US and around 20 other countries.  Members share a common interest in the  management and institutional aspects of economic, social, and political development. There are no membership dues, officers or bylaws, and membership is open to anyone interested.

The DMN's principal activities are workshops, both the one held in conjunction with ASPA's National Conference and mid-year meetings, held in Washington DC during the Fall.  These workshops and meetings provide a forum for participatory discussion among practitioners, scholars, and students.  They have paralleled and often helped to shape the evolution of development management as a sub-field of international and comparative administration. 

Planning for the 2001 Workshop is underway.  Further information will be available here as plans solidify.  In the meantime, information about DMN and the workshop is available from the coordinators: Larry Cooley of MSI, Inc. and Derick Brinkerhoff of Abt Associates.
