IPAA Connect | September 2023
September at IPAA ACT has been a busy month filled with conversations about integrity, capability, and pride in purpose. ?
Yesterday's IPAA National Summit was an immense success, with over 1300 people from across Australia attending online to listen to federal and state/territory leaders discuss trust, pride and integrity in the public sector. For all those who were unable to attend, we'll make a recording available in the coming days. ?
In the podcast space, we're excited to announce our new Public Sector Unearthed series delivered in partnership with the APS Reform Office. Set up as a Work with Purpose spin-off, Unearthed is about public servants who are driving grassroots change and reform through their work, mentoring, communities of practice, diversity and inclusion networks, and the effective promotion of the values and purpose of the public sector. The first episode of Unearthed is out now - make sure to listen in.
On 13 October, we would love to see you at our?Future-ready leadership summi t . In this two-in-one event, you will have the opportunity to learn more about adaptable leadership and explore how the public service can strengthen integrity in light of recent challenges. ?
Lastly, we're looking forward to a fantastic Spirit of Service Awards gala dinner on 8 November. This year's incredible?finalists ?across our four awards categories - Collaboration, Community Engagement, Breakthrough, and Learning - won't make it easy for our judges to make a decision. We hope you join us for the big night at the National Arboretum – registrations ?are now open.
Best wishes,
Caroline Walsh, IPAA ACT CEO?
