Glen Fazal Rajack, M.S.M., San Fernando, Trinidad and Tobago
Meritorious Service Medal (civil division)
During his tenure as Chief Financial Officer of the Assembly of First Nations (AFN), Glen Rajack implemented a Memorandum of Understanding between the Certified General Accountants of Canada and the AFN to address the First Nations’ financial capacity and accountability issues. From this arrangement, and through Mr. Rajack’s influence, the Aboriginal Financial Officers Association of Canada was created in 1999. Its aims are to improve First Nations’ financial practices and management skills and to provide their people with an important professional development opportunity. Mr. Rajack’s hard work and dedication to his profession have benefited Aboriginal people, both nationally and internationally.
