“IPAC has made me the public servant I am today. Participation has enriched my mind, provided endless career opportunities, challenged my biases, and broken down my silos. It has also allowed me to build a personal cross-country, pan-public sector network that helps me every day in my work. It’s the center of the public service world for me.”

Jessica Drakul, Manitoba

"IPAC offers a variety of opportunities and welcomes professionals from all disciplinaries. Learning from a wide variety of backgrounds, perspectives and professions offers an experience that is rare and one of a kind. As a career woman, wife and mother of three, IPAC has allowed me to maintain and grow my professional life, while also raising my three children. I am so grateful for that."

“IPAC has played a positive role in my career path in the public sector. IPAC has provided me the opportunity for professional development and to learn from top experts in the broader public and private sector.”

Joana Jabson, Ontario

"I knew right before completing my undergraduate degree that I want to work in the Public Service sector one day. I had attended an IPAC Vancouver event a couple of months before graduation and it was then I made a decision that I would volunteer with IPAC Vancouver to learn more about Public Administration and the Public Sector in Canada.”

"I attended an IPAC event a handful of years ago. It was great to connect with folks interested in all kinds of different policy topics and working together to better public administration. From there I decided to volunteer with my regional chapter and join the their board. I like being able to take on leadership opportunities, learn from experiences across the public sector, and expand my network. I’d encourage all to check out an IPAC event or get involved. "
