History

Each year since 1963, Bakersfield’s ASPA chapter has recognized an outstanding public administrator in honor of John W. Doubenmier, who became administrator at Kern General Hospital in 1948 when the hospital was in complete disarray. His leadership turned it around and he was widely admired until his untimely death in the early 1960s. He was considered quite progressive during a very conservative time in public administration.


Each year Bakersfield ASPA also bestows its Public Service Award, which acknowledges a lifetime of service by an individual administrator. We celebrate these accomplishments in May to coincide with Public Service Month.
