National Organization

The Institute of Public Administration of Canada (IPAC) in 1997 celebrated the 50th anniversary of its founding. IPAC is a leading Canadian organization concerned with the theory and practice of public management. Its scope covers governance from the global to the local level. It is an association with 20 regional groups across the country providing networks and forums regionally, nationally and internationally.

IPAC is a private non-profit organization. It enables public servants from all spheres of government, university and college teachers, staff, students, and others interested in public administration to exchange ideas on trends, practices and innovations in public administration.

The Institute recognizes and fosters both official languages of Canada.
IPAC's governing body is the national Board of Directors. The members are selected according to a formula that ensures balanced regional and linguistic representation for all sectors of public administration in Canada.

Over the last 50 years, IPAC has been advancing excellence in public service through learning, networking and celebrating.
