Donald C. Stone Practitioner and Scholar Awardees

Donald C. Stone (1903‐1995) was a major and beloved figure in twentieth‐century public
administration. He was the founder of the American Public Works Association (APWA), served
as the first Director of the Public Administration Service, and was a principal architect of the
Executive Office of the President (EOP) in 1939 based on the 1937 recommendations of the
Brownlow Commission. He was the first Director of the Division of Administrative Management
of the Bureau of the Budget within the EOP, worked as Director of Administration of the
Marshall Plan in 1948, helped found the National Academy of Public Administration in 1967,
and served as Dean of the School of Public and International Affairs at the University of
Pittsburgh.

The Section on Intergovernmental Administration and Management (SIAM) established the
Stone awards in 1980. The first awards were made in 1981. The principal criteria for the
Practitioner and Scholar awards are:

 Significant contributions to the practice and/or study of intergovernmental relations over a
substantial period of time

 Contributions that have made an impact on the practice and/or study of intergovernmental
management as a whole rather than only on a specific organization, institution, or function.
