Manon Jeannotte, the elected urban councillor for the Montreal region of the Gespeg Mi'kmaq Nation and Board member of Land InSights, the Society for the Diffusion of the Aboriginal culture, is the first recipient of the new 缅北强奸 HEC Montr茅al EMBA First Peoples鈥� Scholarship, also, worth $ 40,000.
Professors Hebert and Pinsonneault congratulate both recipients whose careers demonstrate not only their perseverance and their exceptional leadership.
With over 25 years of management experience, Louise Richer believes that the Executive MBA program will help her consolidate and update her managerial knowledge: 鈥淚鈥檓 undertaking this EMBA to deepen my understanding of management, including growth strategies. I want to build on the knowledge I鈥檝e acquired through practice in order to gain a more profound insight and a more enlightened awareness. My thirst for learning is greater than ever and I am confident that my organization will benefit from this program.鈥�
As for Madame Jeannotte, the program will help her continue her work towards the recognition of Mi'kmaq as individuals and as a people: "Throughout my career, I have continuously worked to improve the quality of life for my community, in areas such as the recognition of indigenous rights, negotiation, and economic, social and community development. My career is now at a turning point and for me it is obvious that I need a higher level of education; I need to absorb new concepts and approaches. The EMBA will help me to continue to work with those of our communities that wish to move towards self-governance. "
The unique personal and professional experience of these scholarship recipients ensures that they will be important contributors to the knowledge exchanges and interactions that are central to the program鈥檚 pedagogical approach. They will undoubtedly enrich the diversity of the 缅北强奸-HEC Montreal EMBA鈥檚 seventh cohort, beginning mid-September.
The emphasis on leadership, experience, and diversity applies to all candidates, not just the scholarship recipients.

On average, they have 16 years of professional experience, including 11 years in management positions. Each year, the program asks a prominent business person to take on the role of 鈥淓xecutive Patron鈥� of the class.听 This serves two purposes: it鈥檚 an added link to the business community for the class, and it鈥檚 a way of introducing our program in a meaningful and in-depth way to leading executives.听 Our incoming patron will be听, CEO of United Technologies and an HEC Montreal alumnus.
