MPA students may also benefit from involvement with the many professional associations dedicated to public administration. In many instances, the Romney Institute has formed alumni groups that meet during national association conferences. These groups provide an opportunity for current students to attend a conference and network with professionals in their area of interest. The Institute even sponsors special dinner meetings during these conferences for MPA alumni and members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Professional associations with ties to the Romney Institute include:
- American Society for Public Administration
- International City/County Management Association
- International Personnel Management Association
- Government Finance Officers Association
- National Conference of State Legislatures
- Points of Light Foundation
