Commentary
The Seventh Annual General Meeting and Dinner was held in the Radisson Blu Hotel on 13th March 2019.
The AGM was preceded by a very relevant presentation from Lucy Fallon Byrne who gave a stimulating talk on the current phase of the Reform Programme ‘Our Public Service 2020’ with particular reference to development and innovation.
The audience was most appreciative of her openness and candour. As a one-time member of ACESA herself, she has excellent insights into the sector and a great interest in facilitating a constructive exchange of ideas between DPER and the Association.
Members complimented Lucy on the work of the Reform Board, stating they were very impressed by the energy being applied to the reform process.
The meeting itself went very smoothly. It was efficiently chaired and professionally presented.
The Annual Dinner was very successful. It is an integral part of the event and one of the few occasions where CEOs can mingle and discuss – an excellent opportunity for catching up with others!
There was a good take-up on the invitations to former speakers, and the guests enjoyed the evening. So, between members, alumni and guests, there were 47 in attendance.
The open forum was chaired by Tomás O Ruairc, using Mentimeter. It was a novel method of achieving audience engagement and a great tool to work with.
There was a high level of satisfaction with the event and the venue.
