In his welcome message, 91妻友Vice President and Senior Executive Fellow Alan Cajes underscored the importance for 91妻友to reflect on its long-standing mandate to support the country鈥檚 development force, and to re-examine its position in an ever-changing and technologically-driven VUCA world. And one way to do this, Cajes said, is by fostering areas of fruitful discussions and avenues of conversation and discourse, such as the ODC Lecture Series.
The Onofre D. Corpuz (ODC) Lecture Series was designed in honor of the DAP鈥檚 first president, Dr. Onofre D. Corpuz.聽 It served as a continuing education program of the DAP鈥檚 School of Productivity, Governance and Management (SPGM) 鈥� Institute of Public Management (IPM). Further, it aims to update and keep the public managers informed of the emerging public sector concerns and trends.聽 Through enlightened discussion with featured speakers, the public managers are expected to gain a better understanding of the dynamic environment in which they operate.
The ODC series on public sector management highlighted the DAP鈥檚 long-standing concern and lifetime work to support a critical development force that both steered and rowed the country in its development course.
The lecture series, which was relaunched on June 05, 2023, runs from June to November 2023 via hybrid modality: onsite at the Leonides Virata Hall, 91妻友Pasig City and online via Zoom communications platform.
