At SIPA's Regional Workshops, participants engage in interactive exercises and discussions alongside government peers and seasoned experts. These workshops focus on critical topics that matter most to attendees, providing a collaborative learning environment. The aim is to empower participants to translate their newfound knowledge into actionable solutions, fostering positive change within their respective communities and organizations.
We will schedule additional regional workshops throughout the state. The content and expert speakers will likely change in each region. If you're interested in hosting a regional workshop, please contact us at sipa@cosipa.gov.
