Message from President Stéphane Godbout

Thursday, December 18, 2025

stephane godboutChers collègues

Il me plaisir d’écrire quelques mots à titre de président. Dans un premier temps j’aimerais remercier Travis qui a réalisé un travail formidable au cours de la dernière année. Les différentes réalisations de l’an dernier donnent des bases solides pour mon mandat. Durant mon mandat je vise à consolider et à augmenter le membership en utilisant une approche dynamique visant les jeunes professionnels-les. Donc, au cours de l’année, je vise à travailler sur la visibilité de l’association par le biais entre autres des réseaux sociaux. Le déploiement des différentes actions sur les réseaux sociaux sera coordonné par nouveau comité « réseaux sociaux » composés de trois membres. Des actions seront faites dans les prochains mois, surveiller vos réseaux sociaux et je vous invite à faire suivre à vos propres réseaux l’information.

Je profite de l’occasion pour vous mentionnez que je suis présentement incoming président du CIGR. Ma présidence débutera en décembre 2026 pour un mandat de deux ans. Ce positionnement permettra de profiter d’une synergie qui, je l’espère, fera rayonner notre profession.

It is my pleasure to write a few words as president. First, I would like to thank Travis, who did a fantastic job over the past year. The various achievements of last year provide a solid foundation for my mandate. During my term, I aim to consolidate and increase membership using a dynamic approach targeting young professionals. Therefore, throughout the year, I intend to work on increasing the association's visibility, particularly through social media. The implementation of various social media initiatives will be coordinated by a new three-member "Social Media" committee. Actions will be taken in the coming months, so please monitor your social media feeds and I encourage you to share this information with your own networks.

I would also like to take this opportunity to mention that I am currently the incoming president of the CIGR. My presidency will begin in December 2026 for a two-year term. This position will allow us to benefit from a synergy that I hope will enhance the reputation of our profession.

Stéphane Godbout
Président CSABE-SCGAB
