Status Quon't

Welcome to the new IPAC Website! The title of this post comes from the title of the 2006-2007 IPAC Annual Report "Status Quon't: A Time of Renewal". Over the last year we have been hard at work in building upon the strong foundation of IPAC. It has been a time of renewal. As with all other organizations, we cannot stand still. IPAC must continue to evolve to meet the needs of its members and meet the challenges that the future hold.


One of the important areas that we have worked hard on renewing is this Website. As you navigate this site, we hope that the information is more easily searchable. You will also note that we now have a "members-only" section that will require a password. In this part of the site you will soon have electronic access, through our partnership with Blackwell-Wiley, to all issues of Canadian Public Administration. Not only all future issues, but also the first 50 years will be available on-line as of January 2008.

As a member, you will also have access to Public Sector Magazine on-line. Our plan is to supplement the printed PSM that you receive with additional articles of interest to our members.

We have many other plans to utilize this new site which is Web 2.0 and will allow us to fully utilize all the capabilities of a modern Website.

I don't want to divulge everything in this first post, so stay tuned for further updates.

In a future post we will let you know how you will get your password and how you will be able to update your profile and your interests on-line.

As well, I will be posting from our 59th Annual Conference in beautiful Winnipeg to keep you up-to-date on what is happening.

That's all for now...See you all in Winnipeg for the Annual Conference.

Gabriel
