8 April 2024

It is with great pride that LCM Attorneys announces that our colleague, Geneviève Gaudet, has become the first woman to serve as president of the board of directors of Football Québec, marking a historic milestone for women representation in sports.

In its statement, Football Quebec mentions:

The election of a woman as president represents a significant advancement for Football Quebec and for sports in general. […] Geneviève Gaudet brings remarkable expertise to the position of president, as well as an unwavering passion for football and its development in Quebec. Her election marks an important milestone in the history of Football Quebec and will serve as inspiration for future generations of players and leaders.”*

She has since had the opportunity to talk about women’s leadership in sports in her interview with RDS here.

We are delighted to support Geneviève in her new role and look forward to seeing her next achievements in promoting gender equality and diversity in sports.

Congratulations to Geneviève on this outstanding achievement and on this new demonstration of her leadership!
