Picnic in the Park is an annual networking event for IPAA NSW members.

ABOUT THIS EVENT 

As the professional association for the public sector, IPAA’s mission is to build the capabilities and connections of our members and support the advancement of the NSW public sector. 
This annual event is an opportunity to connect with fellow IPAA members for an afternoon of informal networking with John Hubby, IPAA NSW Vice President and Madeleine Culbert, IPAA NSW CEO, along with members of the IPAA NSW Council. 

WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND

This event is complimentary for Professional members and you are entitled to invite one guest. It is an opportunity for IPAA NSW to give back and thank our members for your continued support of the organisation against the backdrop of the stunning Sydney sunset.
 
IPAA’s 2018-2021 Strategic Plan provides a roadmap for the organisation’s future.  

IPAA’s strategic priorities include advancing the profession of public administration, reimagining what IPAA membership provides to the public sector, embedding the customer at the centre of our services and transitioning to a continuously-learning and sustainable organisation.
Picnic in the Park is also an opportunity to be part of the discussion about how we implement this plan and build the capability and connectedness of our members and support the development of the NSW public sector.

All IPAA events include purposeful networking which allows you to:

• Build relationships with the speaker/s and fellow guests
• Develop your capabilities 
• Establish connections across the NSW public sector.
