Details
The Federal & ACT Council of the AIIA are delighted to have the Kathy Leigh, the head of the ACT Public Service, speaking at a very special edition of the Canberra Manager’s Forum series in October.
The topic of the key note address will be ‘Women in Leadership’ and during her presentation Kathy shall step through her journey to her current role, explore and discuss the challenges and opportunities facing organisations in encouraging women to aspire to leadership roles and present her vision for the future shape, style and role of the ACT public service.
Given the current shortfall of women in senior leadership roles, particularly in ICT, Kathy’s contribution, delivered from a very senior perspective, will be highly valued and inspirational. This event promises to be a sell out so please register early.
