Strategic planning began in the business world. Can it be applied in education?
The opening line from guest speaker, Dorothy Young’s award winning research paper, titled Strategic Planning in Education in Manitoba, asks us to contemplate that question.
Dorothy Young presented highlights from her research paper including a review of the strategic planning activities of school divisions within Winnipeg and the results of interviews with superintendents reflecting their evaluations of the planning process, their annual reports to the community, reports to Manitoba Education Citizenship & Youth, and schools’ plans.
In a formal presentation of the Willard J. Condo Memorial Award Ms. Young was presented with the award and an acknowledgement given to the runner up.
The IPAC Manitoba sponsored Award, is presented to the best student paper in any aspect of public policy, public administration or management.
Dr. Condo was a long time Executive of IPAC Manitoba with an extensive history of public service in Manitoba, a commitment to improving the quality of higher education, and supported excellence in the field of public administration in the province.

The Willard J. Condo Award
Background:
The Willard J. Condo Memorial Award is annually presented by the Manitoba Regional Group of IPAC for the best student paper in public administration or management. The object of the competition is to encourage students with career interests in the public service to make original contributions to the field of public administration by examining the structures, processes and outcomes of public policy, administration and management in all spheres of government. There is currently one annual award worth $500 plus an one‑year IPAC student membership open to students in degree‑granting and certificate‑based programs across the province. The annual student membership is currently valued at $50.00. Students at any Manitoba university or community college are eligible. For more information on the award, please see the terms of reference document listed below.
The IPAC Manitoba Regional Group annually grants a total of three university student awards in public administration, public policy and public management. Two of these (the Willard J. Condo Awards) are awarded to outstanding research papers at the graduate and undergraduate levels. The third is awarded to the outstanding graduating student in an appropriate continuing education program. Each will be reviewed below.
