Second president of the Association des familles Proulx d'Amérique (2011 - 2016)
I was born in Les Hauteurs, a small parish located 40km south of Rimouski.
I’ve attended a small rural school where 1st graders to 7th graders were all together. Then, the small local college and finally in St-Gabriel, neighboring parish, where I’ve completed my 11th grade.
I’ve started driving trucks for awhile, about 5 years, in the Montreal area. I’ve then returned to school, college and university and got a job at St-Narcisse de Rimouski city, as a secretary-treasurer. I finally occupied a civil servant position in the Québec government in the health and safety board department for 25 years, 10 years as a team leader.
Upon retiring, one of my cherished projects was to create a Proulx family association. Doing some research, I’ve learned that a young association already existed, L’Association des familles Proulx d’Amérique.
I’ve rapidly became a member and the board proposed me to join them and I was appointed to vice president position.
When Langis Proulx left the president position in September 2011, I was appointed to that vacant position. I’ve proudly accepted and occupied this position until September 2016. My goals were to continue the work in progress, improve the organization, but most all, increase awareness of the existence of our Association. A good way to achieve this was also our participation at different Family Heritage conferences.
I wish to express all my appreciation and gratitude to board members, I should say Board members team’s who stand by me throughout the years and who contributed in making our Association what it is today. I’m confident that our Association will continue to constantly evolve and improve.
Members loyalty is one of the main assets and I wish to thanks them.
Long live the Association des Familles Proulx d'Amérique
