Tribute to Ken Kernaghan

Tonight IPAC officially launched its latest book, "Professionalism and Public Service: Essays in Honour of Kenneth Kernaghan" at a reception in Ottawa.

This incredible book was co-edited by David Siegal of Brock University and Ken Rasmussen of the University of Regina. The book includes chapters on areas of public administration that are of interest to Ken Kernaghan and these are areas where Ken provided his incredible insight. What is outstanding is the breadth of this volume. The topics cover all major areas in public administration and is an indication of Ken's contribution to public administration in Canada and around the world. The chapters were written by some of the best in Canada ans is a must read for anyone interested or working in public administration. Get it now!!

Apart from some introductory remarks from yours truly, David Siegal spoke of Ken's incredible career in teaching, researching, writing about and thinking about public administration. Ken was always on the leading edge of innovations in public administration. Not only is he a thought leader, but he is also a gifted teacher and a person who has bridged the academic-practitioner divide.

Kudos to Ken!!
