It is an honour to write to you for the first time in La Cible as Chair of
the IQPF Board of Directors. First, I want to express my gratitude to
the financial planners who elected me and the Board members who
chose me as Chair. Thanks, also, to Sylvain B. Tremblay, who has been
at the helm these last two years. Finally, I want to thank the Board
members who have left us this year, David Gingras, Sophie Labonne
and Catherine G Patenaude, and welcome our three new members,
Khadija Azizi, Jean-Guy Grenier and Julie Tremblay.
Pride in the Profession
This year, 25 financial planners applied for a position on the Board.
Twenty-five! That's a record number, and I believe it demonstrates
the pride of financial planners and their desire to advance our
profession and contribute to its recognition. These are feelings that
motivate me, too, and that made me want to present my candidacy
as Chair. Guided by my training as a financial planner, I intend to be
an ambassador for our profession. I will convey and embody the
mission, vision and values of the IQPF, not only in my professional
practice, but also as the Chair of the Board.
That said, I firmly believe in the value of teamwork and strength in
numbers. The IQPF regularly campaigns to promote your profession.
You are proud of what you do, and we want to showcase that pride.
To expand the reach of our promotional campaign so all Quebecers
can understand the value that financial planners have to offer, we
need your help. You are the best ambassadors of your profession.
Share our campaigns, talk about them, tell the world about your
expertise!
2018 Financial Planning Week
Our next campaign will run from November 4 to 24, to promote the
2018 Financial Planning Week (November 18 to 24). As I write these
lines, plans are in the works. We will continue to play on the concept
of the emotions evoked by managing personal finances, to help
people understand the benefits of being supported by a financial
