October Member Profile: Blair Jones
“If you had told me ten years ago that I’d be building a career as a public servant, I probably would’ve asked, ‘What’s a public servant?’ … That decision led me to Dalhousie University, where I enrolled in the Master of Public Administration program. I’ve never looked back.”
Blair has served on the IPAC-NCR Board for nearly five years — as Director-at-Large, Corporate Secretary, Vice-Chair, and now Chair. “If you’re not yet a member of IPAC, I wholeheartedly encourage you to join. You never know — it might just change your life, the way it changed mine.”
Call out for volunteers
The IPAC-NCR Board is looking for general volunteers to support upcoming events, including volunteers with photography experience (photographers must have their own equipment).
