The Association of Public Sector Information Professionals (DPI), is a volunteer not-for profit Canadian federal organization. We promote the development of public sector professionals and the effective application of Information Management and Technology (IM/IT) in the Federal Government of Canada and other public sector jurisdictions. This knowledge serves to influence the greater information management (IM) and the information technology (IT) communities through the application of shared best practices. As enablers of many services offered to Canadians, the impact is felt there too. With out the time and dedication of our volunteers throughout the year, DPI and PDW would not exist. Some of our volunteers work behind the scences throughout the year, developing and promoting DPI and PDW. 2, record 2, English, - Association%20of%20Public%20Sector%20Information%20Professionals

L'Association des professionnels de l'information du secteur public(DPI), qui fait partie de l'Institut fédéral de gestion, est un organisme fédéral canadien de volontaires à but non lucratif. Nous faisons la promotion du développement des professionnels du secteur public et la mise en œuvre efficace de la gestion de l'information et de la technologie de l'information au sein du gouvernement fédéral du Canada. Ces connaissances servent ensuite à influencer les communautés de la gestion de l'information(GI) et des technologies de l'information(TI) par des modèles et des pratiques partagés. Puisque nous sommes des facilitateurs de plusieurs services offerts aux canadiens, l'impact de cette influence se fait sentir à tous les niveaux. Sans le temps et le dévouement de nos bénévoles consacrés, DPI et la SPP ne pourraient survivre. Certains d’entre eux travaillent dans l'ombre tout au long de l'année et déploient des efforts considérables à préparer et à promouvoir DPI et la SPP. 2, record 2, French, - Association%20des%20professionnels%20de%20l%26rsquo%3Binformation%20du%20secteur%20public
