Conseil d'administration
CONSEIL D’ADMINISTRATION POUR L’ANNÉE 2025
Claude Chidiac
Président
Retraité de l’aéronautique, j’agis comme mentor auprès de jeunes entreprises en stratégie, développement d’affaires et gestion de la croissance. Passionné de voile, je siège depuis 9 ans au conseil du Club de Voile Senneville. Je participe à de nombreuses régates localement et fais au moins une croisière par année en mer.
Patrick Caux
Vice President
Patrick Caux is an amateur in several senses of the word: he loves sailing (since he was little); he does not derive any income from it; he still has a lot to learn.
Based in Quebec, he mainly practices light sailing in Beauport Bay (49er, F18, Moth, Laser, etc.), but never hesitates to board a keelboat when he has the opportunity.
Professionally, Patrick was a contributor to the daily newspaper Le Devoir before becoming assistant to director Robert Lepage, then Director of cultural mediation, communications and development at the National Museum of Fine Arts of Quebec.
Since 2015, as creative director, he has designed and developed large-scale cultural, event and architectural projects for numerous clients.
Alongside his professional activities, Patrick has sat on several boards of directors (Laval University, Fondation Petit Séminaire de Québec, various cultural companies, etc.) and is involved as a representative of dinghy users in Beauport Bay.
He has been a member of the board of directors of Quebec sailing since 2021.
Laurent-David Beaulieu
secretary
Since his first regatta at the Quebec Games in Sept-Îles in 2007 where his 16th birthday allowed him to officially become an instructor, Laurent-David has traveled across Quebec and visited France and the United States through sailing.
He has acquired good experience in mobilization and consensus building by being involved as president of the Canadian F18 catamaran association since 2018 and now as president of the Écovoile Baie-des-Chaleurs solidarity cooperative.
His motivations for getting involved are, on the one hand, to work to facilitate the operation of a sailing club or school, and on the other hand, to make sailing a sport accessible so that as many young people as possible can be interested in it and develop in it.
He is happy that his experience on multiple media and in several sailing clubs and schools; his understanding of the development of sport in the region both at the level of the athlete and the school; as well as his administrative skills; are assets that he has the opportunity to put at the service of the FVQ Board of Directors.
Marie Roy
Treasurer
Practicing sailing since his early childhood; family sailing cruiser, summer job sailing instructor, regattas in Tanzer 22/Shark and mother of children having followed her passion in Optimist and Byte, the sailing environment is familiar to Marie who is convinced that she will be able to make a good contribution to the mission and action plans of the FVQ.
Holder of a Baccalaureate in administration and an MBA, Marie has worked in different fields during her career. In addition, as a citizen engaged in her community, she supported the creation of a non-profit organization with the mission of combating school dropouts and was active on its board of directors.
Chloé Provost
administratrice
Je pratique la voile depuis plus de 25 ans et évolue professionnellement dans ce milieu depuis déjà 8 ans. Ayant récemment découvert les joies du quillard avec ma famille, mon cœur reste cher la pratique du dériveur qui a été une compétence déterminante dans mon parcours de vie.
Actuellement, je travaille dans le secteur du loisir municipal en sport et plein air, où je veille à la bonne gouvernance des différents partenaires et soutien la pérennité des services offerts sur le territoire. Généraliste, je m’intéresse particulièrement à la planification stratégique, aux enjeux de transmission des compétences, au développement du sport à tous les niveaux de pratique et à la démocratisation de l’accès à la voile pour tous.
Catherine Bussières
Administratrice
Originally from the Quebec region, Catherine grew up in summer camps. It was at Camp Trois-Saumons, located in Chaudière-Appalaches, that Catherine discovered sailing. From the beginning of the Trois-Saumons Camp Sailing School in 2004, Catherine worked closely with campers and sailing instructors, as an instructor and then as manager of this sector on the camp. Now director of the Trois-Saumons camp, Catherine is committed to teaching and promoting sailing, particularly among children and young adults. Each season, she concretely sees the benefits of practicing this activity in the development of skills such as socialization, autonomy and leadership.
In addition to her passion which led her to work in the world of camps, Catherine previously held the positions of structural engineer for the Canam Group and business development representative at Structure Fusion.
Richard Tremblay
administrator
J’ai fait connaissance avec les plaisirs de la voile en 1981 lors d’un programme avec la Marine Canadienne. Depuis ce temps, et surtout depuis 2008, j’ai complété mon apprentissage de la voile et je me suis mis à naviguer plus régulièrement.
Je suis un ‘jeune’ retraité depuis octobre 2021, et je peux enfin consacrer plus de temps à mes passions, dont la voile. Je possède depuis mars 2022 un voilier que je navigue en Méditerranée quelques mois par année (printemps et automne), et maintenant dans les Caraïbes.
J’ai eu ces 33 dernières années l’occasion d’acquérir une solide expérience en gestion du personnel et des opérations, finance, plan stratégique, développement des affaires et marketing, service à la clientèle, gestion des processus, ainsi que sur divers conseils d’administrations.
Je désire maintenant m’impliquer activement dans des projets et des organisations dont les actions sont en lien avec mes passions et mes valeurs. Voile Québec fait partie de ces organisations. À titre de membre du conseil d’administration, je compte participer activement au succès de Voile Québec et de ses membres.
Guillaume Bouvard
administrator
Originally from France, arrived in Quebec in 2009, Guillaume lives in Rouyn-Noranda. He is passionate about new technologies, business management and sailing of course!
Guillaume comes from a family that has always practiced sailing, his grandfather and father having managed and administered sailing clubs and yacht clubs in France. He set foot on a sailboat from the age of 3, competed, ran sailing camps, lived for 5 years on a sailboat that he built with his father, crossed the Channel several times and sailed in Greece and the Mediterranean.
In Canada, he sailed on Lake Ontario, in Georgian Bay and on the Saguenay Fjord between La Baie and Baie Éternité where he passed his basic cruise skipper's certificate in 2023. He is enrolled in the intermediate course for summer 2024.
On the professional side, Guillaume has more than 25 years of experience as a building technician. For 7 years, he has been the vice-president of a small incorporated professional services company based in Rouyn-Noranda, for which he manages aspects related to financial issues, human resources, content presentations and sales of services, contract negotiation and of partnerships in a context of labor shortage, a health crisis and decline.
Guillaume has a thirst for learning and is happy that his knowledge and experience can enrich and be useful to the development of this wonderful association which promotes the most beautiful activity in the world, sailing!
