Headline Theme: leadership for women

This year the ANZSOG Institute for Governance has decided to celebrate the contribution of women to public sector excellence in 2010. This aim is also in keeping with Local Government Managers Australia (LGMA) national strategy to advance women in local government by promoting 2010 as the Year of Women in Local Government with the objectives of:

  • Raising awareness of the benefits of increasing participation of women and of embracing gender equity at both elected and executive levels
  • Acknowledging the significant role women play in the effectiveness and long term health of local government
  • Encouraging councils to adopt modern HR practices
  • Establishing more flexible ways of working

An Institute working group is developing a series of activities including a headline event, supported by the Australian Centre for Excellence in Local Government, FaHCSIA and Minter Ellison.
