Description
In partnership with the Canadian Association of Programs in Public Administration, this event brings together academic thought leaders and public servants to discuss, learn and build new practices in public administration. Leading academics and senior leaders will host engaging discussions as they unpack the policy lens from both an external and internal perspective.
The panel will explore questions around disruptive forces, policy prioritization, lesson retention, internal accountability, service delivery, and diversity and inclusion, among other topics. Participants will have the opportunity to join in on the discussion, add to their own toolkit, and learn how to apply current research to their practice.
