Announcing the IPAC Future of Government speaker series

 

We are pleased to announce an exciting new speaker series for public sector practitioners here in Nova Scotia. We're calling it the IPAC Future of Government speaker series, a premiere series of events focused on key issues in public administration. Each event offers thoughtful, inspiring thinking from public sector leaders, practitioners and academics.

In keeping with our theme, the series will explore the future of work in government, the future of health care in Nova Scotia, the future of social spending with an aging population, and the future of regulation in the new economy.

We hope you can join us for the series launch on Thurs, Nov 21, 2019 at 4:30 p.m. Further details, including registration information and our list of distinguished speakers, can be found below.
