On April 27, 2011, Gérard Coulombe, Partner at Lavery, participated in a symposium on the challenges of French-speaking people on boards of directors entitled: “50 ans de gouvernance au Québec : les défis de la présence francophone au sein des C.A.” This symposium brought together experienced administrators who have witnessed five decades of changes (1960-2010) to discuss the future of French-speaking members on the boards of directors of large-scale companies in Quebec and Canada.
Organized by the Institut sur la gouvernance d’organisations privées et publiques, this event was held at the Loews Hotel Vogue in Montreal.
