The Professional Association of Foreign Service Officers (PAFSO) is pleased to announce the recipients of the 2012 PAFSO Canadian Service Officer Awards presented on June 7th at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa.
SOPHIE AUGER
Extraordinary fortitude and outstanding performance as a manager, leader, innovator, trainer, mentor and negotiator make Sophie Auger a worthy recipient of the 2012 PAFSO Award. From 2009 to 2011 when the Temporary Resident Unit of the High Commission in New Delhi could receive 1000 applications in a day and the 2011 total exceeded 100,000, Sophie responded with dedication to quality service and program integrity, unflagging support to colleagues and exemplary creativity. She instituted streamlined programs like the Student Partnership Program, accommodating March 2010's astonishing surge of 12,000 applications; the Business and Worker Express Programs for Canada's most important Indian economic partners; and the Tourist Partners Program. Sophie's perseverance, determination and resilience shone when the Indian government reacted to visa refusals of military personnel and the local media targeted Sophie personally. She held her team together, delivered the visa program on time and provided advice to Ottawa on revising the guidelines.
