Mr. Étienne was the leading organizer for the first symposium in 2019 of the Federal Black Employee Caucus (FBEC). He has developed curricula and programs to meet the ED&I leadership and governance challenges of organizations. Participants in his ED&I leadership programs benefit from a world of leadership experience.

| − | |'''Gerard-Hubert Etienne'''
| |
| − | |Gérard-Hubert Étienne is a public servant, student, spouse and father to a beautiful boy. His short career in the public service has taken him across the National Capital Commission, Transport Canada and very recently, Library & Archives Canada. He shares his father’s passion and dedication towards Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Anti-Racism and spent the better time of his youth honing his mindset by hammering him with endless questions. When Gérard-Hubert isn’t changing his son’s diapers, playing with toy cars or housecleaning, he spends his time geeking out to relax. His biggest wish is to hopefully have to answer less questions from his son than his father did.
