Integrity and ethics are a core tenet of the public purpose sector and underpin the community’s trust in the services we deliver.
IPAA Victoria’s Senior Executive Integrity and Ethical Leadership Program (Senior Executive IELP) is the leadership development course for the modern public purpose sector leader.
Underpinned by the Integrity and Ethical Leadership Framework, the course equips leaders with the strategies, intelligence and tools to build integrity and ethical resilience. Leaders who undertake the course can connect with like-minded peers from Victoria’s diverse public purpose sector.
