IPAA Queensland is thrilled to invite the public purpose sector once again to our annual flagship event, the Chief Executives and Emerging Leaders Breakfast; taking place on 28th May at the iconic Brisbane City Hall.    This popular event has become an important part of the fabric of the sector in Queensland, offering CEOs an opportunity to invest in their future talent and recognise young and emerging leaders in their organisation.    It is an opportunity not to miss.    This event features an engaging keynote speaker (the impressive Michael McQueen) who will challenge the thinking of well-seasoned public leaders, emerging leaders and young professionals alike, on a hot topic and an emerging challenge in public sector leadership.    At IPAA, we think of emerging leaders as those who are new to public service, new to formal leadership roles, or are in the early stages of their public purpose career. We seem them as vital to progressing an innovative and transformational response to complex and evolving community needs.    The event is a fantastic opportunity for emerging leaders to engage with senior leaders, share ideas and expand their professional networks.    Secure your table now.    We would like to extend our warmest thanks to QSuper (part of the Australian Retirement Trust), KPMG Australia and OnTalent for supporting this event.    https://lnkd.in/gmmQbnR7 #ippainsights #ipaaqld2025 #challengeyourthinking #buildconnections #keepinformed
