Presentation by ACOA president postponed

Tonight's presentation at UPEI by Monique Collette, President of the Atlantic Canada Opportunities Agency (ACOA), has been postponed. Further details will be announced at a later date.

In the spring of 2009, at the request of the Clerk of the Privy Council, Ms. Collette conducted a one-person task force to explore ideas and practical approaches that were having a positive impact on the workplace environment and the effectiveness of the public service of Canada. She met with public servants from various departments and agencies in all regions of the country. It gave her an opportunity to hear employees speak with passion and commitment about the kind of public service in which they want to work and what they are doing to create that workplace.

In her presentation, Ms. Collette shares stories drawn from those consultations, and outlines insights and lessons learned that are valuable to all leaders who wish to spark passion and purpose in their workplaces.

This session is jointly sponsored by ACOA, UPEI, and the Centre for Spirituality and the Workplace at Saint Mary's University. Parking is available in the lots immediately to the north of the KCI. For more information, contact Ken DesRoches at kdesroches@upei.ca.
