Good morning Jess

IPAA has had a great month since I last wrote to you, including Kathryn Campbell's recent Secretary Series address and our Future Leaders' Executive Breakfast with Claire Madden. Information on both events is available below.

This week I will be joining IPAA colleagues from across Australia at our National Conference in Melbourne on the theme 'Fault Lines for the Future of the Public Service'. A Q&A style session will be live-streamed with further information provided below.

On a related note, the IPAA ACT Conference is on Wednesday 7 November, with the theme 'Fit for the Future?' and including sessions aligned with the Review of the APS. Ticket sales have just passed 400 attendees and there are only a limited number remaining, so click here if you'd like to register to attend.

Thanks for your ongoing support. I look forward to seeing you at one of our upcoming events!

Regards
