Professional Development Committee

The Professional Development Committee is GPAC's link to the professional world outside SPPD. We at GPAC believe that some of our member's most valuable educational experiences in leadership will take place in the broader community. This includes the experiences in government as well as non-governmental and professional organizations.

Professional Development Committee responsibilities include:

• Professional Associations Liaison
• Conference Coordination
• Sacramento Center Liaison
• Career Services Liaison
• SPPD Alumni Association Liaison
• SPPD Rankings Education and Development
• Networking and Professional Development Opportunities

Focus on: Professional Associations

• International City/County Managers Association (ICMA)
• Municipal Managers Association of Southern California (MMASC)
• Association Society of Public Administrators (ASPA)
• Non-Profit Associations
