Having been mayor required the ability to advocate for the needs of your town and the ability to see projects through to completion.  I have demonstrated the ability and determination to get things done. I have been trusted to lead organizations at the local, provincial, national and international levels. Ex: 

• School principal (28 years)

• Executive Director of the "Société des enseignants retraités francophones du NB" (8 years)

• Executive Director of the "Association francophones des ainées du NB" (8 years)

• President of the "Association des municipalités francophones du NB" (4 years)

• President of the "Fédération des ainés francophones du Canada"

• and many more (See Resume)

In terms of my formal education, I have a Master's degree in education.

Having been mayor required access to decision makers, leaders and the media. My many involvements have allowed me to develop trusting relationships with a large number of civil servants, elected officials (ministers and MLAs), leaders of organizations as well as the media (television, radio and newspapers).

Having been mayor required commitment, dedication, availability and time. You must be willing to take the time to do your job well. The common good must absolutely come before the individual good. I have always put the common good before my personal interest. I have participated and chaired several boards of directors at the local, provincial, national and international levels; the common good has always been my priority.

In a municipal council you should expect, as citizens, to have competent members who are committed to the development of their community and who work according to certain values such as:

• honesty

• transparency

• respect

• open-mindedness

• equality

For me, every person deserves respect and fair treatment.
