The Association of Black and Afro-descendant Civil Servants (AFNA) publicly launched its activities on Saturday, March 28, at Maison d'Haïti with 10 members of their Board of Directors and before about thirty guests. Most are members of the civil service from all levels of government in Quebec.
"There are gaps and obstacles and sometimes a feeling of isolation in the civil service. And yet the commitment is there, the talents, the skills are there. What was missing was coming together" - Réal Lacombe, president of AFNA
