With extensive experience spanning over 34 years in the Federal Public Service, Johanne brings a wealth of strategic vision and a deep-rooted culture of integrity to the Board of Directors. Having spent a decade in executive leadership roles—notably with an Agent of Parliament—she possesses a deep understanding of governance, compliance, and institutional accountability.
Beyond her professional expertise, her commitment to the Maverick Youth Opportunity Fund is driven by a sincere personal mission. As a mother of three young adults, including a dedicated volleyball player, she has witnessed firsthand how team sports serve as a powerful catalyst for growth, discipline, and self-confidence.
It is this conviction that fuels her involvement today: a desire to give back so that other young people can thrive through a shared love of sport. By blending her rigorous background as a senior leader with her perspective as a “sports mom,” Johanne is dedicated to ensuring the Foundation’s mission creates a real and lasting impact for the next generation of athletes.
By investing in the athletic dreams of our youth, we build their confidence and their ability to collaborate. This is how tomorrow’s leadership is forged: one athlete, one aspiration, and one interaction at a time.
