Following the announcement of the departure of the executive director, Bianka Dupaul, the Board of Directors worked very hard to recruit a person not only capable of replacing Ms. Dupaul but a person with the potential to shine the company even more.
The Board of Directors warmly thanks Bianka who, for many years, has grown the cooperative, structured growth and tripled turnover. As we know her, with all her professionalism and rigor, she will also ensure the transition with the new general director over the coming months.
The Board now places its trust in Isabelle Mercier who will be able to take up the torch of executive direction and propel, with the entire team, our organization and our services to lead CSUR into a new era.
Our next CEO has a very diverse background which positions her as an essential resource for our cooperative. She has worked in the world of telecommunications, manufacturing, sales and food as the owner of a bakery. She has a global vision of regional issues and has essential qualities, such as versatility, rigor, and a great capacity for analysis. Her varied interests and her human and community values make her a general director who lives up to our ambitions.
“It is with great enthusiasm that I join the CSUR team. This new challenge represents an opportunity for me to take advantage of the experience I have acquired over the last few years and put it at the service of the community. The role entrusted to me fascinates me and corresponds to my fundamental values such as the promotion of collective autonomy and the accessibility of local products and services.
Making this transition alongside Ms. Dupaul in the coming months is a privilege that will ensure the continuity of the vision and mission of the organization. What a chance to be able to contribute to the growth of a company that places primary importance on its members and the strength of a dynamic community. I look forward to meeting you to better understand your needs and expectations from your cooperative.
I would like to warmly thank the board of directors for their trust, and I look forward to working with you all in the near future! » - Isabelle Mercier, newly appointed executive director of CSUR.
Mrs. Mercier will take up her position on April 8! Come to the office to welcome her.
