RÉSEAU DU SPORT ÉTUDIANT DU QUÉBEC
New Nominations to the RSEQ's Executive Committee

The Board of Directors of the Réseau du sport étudiant du Québec (RSEQ) is pleased to announce changes within its general management.

First, Mr. Gustave Roel, President and General Manager, will now take on the role of Chief Executive Officer. Over the past several years, he has gained valuable experience and developed professional skills in leadership, advisory roles, government relations, and managing significant resources across a network that spans the province of Quebec. This work has been crucial in supporting the educational success of more than 238,000 student-athletes.

The RSEQ comprises 14 regional bodies, 64 cégeps, 13 universities, and more than 3,000 educational institutions, from elementary schools to universities. Operating throughout Quebec, the network employs 40 provincial staff members and has an operating budget exceeding $15 million.
As the senior manager of this complex ecosystem, his primary responsibilities will include fostering collaboration among various sectors, representing the organization in multiple government ministries, updating the strategic plan, participating in different board of director meetings, providing training, transferring expertise, and supporting the management and governance of the organization's regional bodies.

In addition, Mr. Stéphane Boudreau, who has served as Deputy Director for the past eight years, will now assume the position of Executive Director. With his extensive expertise in management, strategic planning, finance, and marketing and communications, Mr. Boudreau brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the organization's leadership team, instilling confidence in his ability to lead effectively. Together, they will share the crucial responsibility of managing all network services and maintaining relationships with various local, regional, and provincial stakeholders.
 
These nominations are part of the executive team's restructuring process. The team will soon welcome a third person to be named as Deputy Executive Director. A job post for this currently vacant position will be made public in the coming days. With the upcoming unification of the regional bodies, this person will support the Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Director in the strategic leadership of the RSEQ as well as the management of all its services and programs.

The members of the Board of Directors are thrilled about these appointments and are confident that the strong track records of Mr. Roel and Mr. Boudreau will continue to enhance and promote the network.
