"My assignment with the PSPN has been enormously enriching for me personally and for my home department in terms of the contributions and connections I am making. I have gained tremendous appreciation for and knowledge of diversity, equity and inclusion as a horizontal issue within government, communications strategies, events planning and how to gain and hold a seat at the table on key policy files. All of this while working in a small, collegial and dedicated team where so much of the administrative overhead that can bog our work down is absent. The benefits flow in both directions: my department has already profited from as I have facilitated connections leading to changes in chosen name policy and practice and have helped highlight IRC successes to a broader audience and connect IRCC to bigger dialogues. My only regret about the assignment is that it will come to an end too quickly."
