Our Committment to you
The importance of staying on top of current issues and networking with colleagues cannot be underestimated. Professional development has the ability to raise our understanding and competency to new heights and help us prepare for the future by giving us new skills and knowledge.
It is with these thoughts in mind that the IPAC Manitoba Regional Group Program Committee designs professional development programs in which you can participate. Each event will feature a prominent speaker(s), offer ample opportunity to network and provide you with background material on each topic that you can take back to the office.
Mission: To engage and educate our members and the broader public service by offering timely and relevant program events.
Objective: To bring public servants, academics, students and representatives from the private sector together to share information, problem-solve, network and celebrate excellence in public sector management.
