[CivicAccess-discuss] Whistleblower Protection - discussion 12:00 pm July 17th

[Claire Woodside]

Hi all,

 

In my new role as board member with TI-Canada I would like to invite you to
attend a discussion on whistleblowing with professor AJ Brown from Griffiths
University, Australia. Professor Brown is a leading expert on whistleblowing
legislation and is excited to share his knowledge of what works and what
doesn't with Canadians. This event will take place on July 17th from
12:00pm-2:00pm at the Courtyard Restaurant (everyone is responsible for
paying for their own lunch). Please feel free to pass along this invitation
to anyone or any lists that you think might find this talk interesting. I
believe this discussion will be a great opportunity to engage in a
productive dialogue and to collective discuss what needs to be done in the
Canadian context to better protect whistleblowers. The full event invite is
below and I am attaching A.J.'s bio.

 

Please RSVP via eventbrite or contact me directly for further questions:

Transparency International Canada is pleased to invite you to an upcoming
presentation by A.J.Brown of Australia on Whistleblowing Legislation. This
talk will be held on July 17th at the Courtyard Restaurant in the Byward
Market over lunch from 12:00 to 2:00pm. We hope you or someone else within
your organization is available to attend, as it will be a great opportunity
to provide an opportunity to hear a range of perspectives on the important
topic of whistleblowing.

Professor A.J. Brown of Griffiths University is one of the leading
researchers in the field of whistleblower protection.  He has been the
driving force behind some of the most comprehensive research ever conducted
in this field. This work has served to clarify what works and what does not
in whistleblowing legislation, and has influenced legislative initiatives in
Australia and elsewhere.

Professor Brown is also a director of Transparency International Australia
and has played a leading role in international projects including a recent
review of whistleblowing legislation across the G20 countries, in support of
Australia's 2014 G20 presidency. 

TI-Canada is excited to host this discussion, which will not only create a
platform for Professor Brown to share his information and experience with
interested parties in Canada, but will also serve as a forum for a dialogue
on whistleblower protection.

Please note that participants will choose and be responsible for paying for
their own lunch.
