President's Report
A more charitable view of the adage, “success has many parents whilst failure is an orphan” is that success is the result of work done by many people. I am very conscious of this reminder in reporting one of IPAA NSW’s strongest ever performances, both in terms of engagement with our sector and our overall financial results.
Like the work of the sector we represent, IPAA NSW’s successes have been created by an extraordinary range of people: the hard-working team led by our CEO, my colleagues on the IPAA NSW Council and our sub-committees, our members whose support gives us authority and credibility, and our supporters whose insights and involvement helps to shape our strategic priority settings and our operational decision making.
It is this support that has helped us to create a surplus in the last financial year that is substantially higher than budgeted. This allows us to contribute to our reserves that were essential in helping us ride out the difficult operating environment of the last few years. Previous Councils built those reserves and it is very gratifying for the current Council to be able meet our obligation as stewards of IPAA NSW, and invest in the capabilities of our organisation and staff.
But, just for a moment, forget about the dollars and look at that engagement! More than 18,000 registrations at 40 online and face-to-face events. More than 8,500 people attending professional development activities delivered through in-house programs, scheduled courses and self-paced online learning modules. At 30 June 2023, we now have almost 1,000 Professional members, more than 31,000 Affiliate members, 4,771 followers on LinkedIn, and twelve Partnership Agreements with NSW Government organisations.
The NSW public service can feel like a big place but achievements of this level show that IPAA NSW is able to work at scale in response to the issues and capability needs facing our sector. This bodes well for our future and it is why, on behalf of the IPAA NSW Council, I want to thank everyone whose work and support has contributed to the great stories this Annual Report has to tell.
Mark Webb FIPAA,
President IPAA NSW
