IPANZ Canterbury

Join IPANZ Canterbury for professional development and networking opportunities. IPANZ Canterbury focuses on the public sector in the Canterbury region. Whether you work in the public service, local government, a Crown agency, or work in an organisation with an interest in the public sector – IPANZ Canterbury welcomes you.

We provide seminars so that IPANZ Canterbury members can learn about and debate the current and emerging public policy issues. Building knowledge about the issues our communities face is important and benefits individual members, as well as their organisations.

Through our efforts we’re helping to:

  • build understanding and relationships across the Canterbury public sector
  • strengthen links between central and local government
  • contribute to enhanced public sector performance
  • enhance professional development opportunities for people working in and with the public sector.

Our current membership is around 100 people representing more than 20 organisations across the wider public sector in Canterbury.

Become an individual IPANZ member, so that you can get your own copy of Public Sector journal delivered quarterly. You’ll also get discounts to some paid events.

About IPANZ Canterbury

The current IPANZ Canterbury branch was originally formed as a New Professionals network in October 2006, following the inaugural New Professionals Conference in Wellington.
Since then, we have focused on developing and growing a successful Canterbury network by organising a number of free seminars, aimed at providing professional development and networking opportunities for our members. These have been well supported and received, with an average of 25 attendees at each.

In 2009 we broadened our focus from being a New Professionals network, and now encompass all Canterbury-based public service professionals under the expanded banner of IPANZ Canterbury. In addition to our quarterly seminar series, we are planning to include workshops and social gatherings in the range of events we run for our members in future.
