SUMMARY:MPPA Workshop - Briefing Notes
DESCRIPTION:Are you interested in knowing how public servants brief up to senior management and decision-makers within the Federal Public Service?



Carleton SPPA will be hosting a workshop for current MPPA students on January 8, 2026, from 9:30-11:30 presented by a current public servant, and will offer students practical considerations in preparing briefing notes in the federal public service ranging from your team lead to the Prime Minister.



The workshop will include tips, feedback and background on briefing senior managers and policy makers that build on in-class assignments of briefing notes.



The workshop will also include an exercise to put into practice the topics discussed, and be bookended by a short discussion.
