John Bennett, Chair, GoverNEXT Policy Research Associate, Voluntary Planning“I am truly honored and proud to be a member of GoverNEXT. In just over a year, I have been fortunate to play many roles, including Voluntary Planning departmental rep, treasurer, vice-chair and chair. The experience gained from those positions has been instrumental to my career development and to building a network of collaborative relationships across the provincial public service. GoverNEXT has made all that possible. The opportunity to network, work together and showcase the leadership that young public servants provide has been a pleasure to be a part of. We truly are diverse, dynamic and dedicated.”
