Professional Development Events--Throughout the Year
The purpose of Professional Development events is to provide educational and networking programs for IT and Business Professionals across both Washington State Government and the vendor community. The Professional Development Committee collaborates with IPMA Corporate Sponsors, IT vendors, and government agencies to develop customized educational and informative events. Events often include a keynote speaker, presentations, demonstrations, and interactive panel discussions on a variety of topics that align with current technology trends and initiatives. Audience members are encouraged to engage with the panel through Q&A format.
In calendar year 2022, the IPMA plans to offer up to 8 events. The planned events include a combination of virtual, hybrid, and in person to offer a variety of venues to access information and networking.

The LeaderPath course offers an intensive learning opportunity for leadership professionals. Participants focus on public sector leadership using case studies, group exercises, mock presentation, personal evaluations and panel discussions with experts to create a highly participatory and multidimensional learning environment.
