Government Community of Practice
Background
This forum was created in order for AM professionals in government bodies to convene, share, and grow their asset management skills and knowledge. It acts as a single meeting place for government professionals in asset management, bringing together and establishing connections that may have otherwise not been available.
Goals of the CoP
- Bring together a group of like-minded professionals in government asset management
- Share knowledge, experiences, and case studies in order to learn
- Create strategies for implementing and improving current challenges in asset management in government departments
- Help government bodies develop and enhance their asset management practice starting from the planning phase through to the retirement phase
Key meeting places of the CoP
The Sydney, Peth, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Hobart chapters will each hold government CoP events annually. To enquire about these events, please email the respective chapter chair.
For those who subscribe, a monthly newsletter will be emailed, containing all government-sector news in the asset management sphere.
