Board of Directors

The 2023/24 Board of Directors is comprised of eleven members. All are parents who foster the development of their children and the Francophonie, bringing new ideas, innovating and analyzing FPFA’s current situation, while ensuring the proper functioning of the organization.

GENEVIÈVE SAVARD

President

presidence@fpfa.ab.ca

I am involved in FPFA because the French language is important to me. I am proud to be French in an English-speaking community and my children can live in a bilingual multicultural environment.

CELINE BEGIN

Director

I am involved with the FPFA because I want to support the French-speaking community and help ensure that there are important French language resources for parents and children in Alberta.

ELIANE GAËLLE NDOUTOU MBANTA

Director

I am involved at the FPFA to contribute to safeguarding and improving the levers necessary for the promotion, facilitation, support of education and socialization of students, and in our our beautiful language; the French language. It is also the opportunity to participate in the integration of newly arrived French-speaking families into the Francophone education system in Alberta.

PILAR BUITRAGO

Director

I am involved in the FPFA because I think that through an organization like the FPFA, I could contribute more broadly to the Francophone community in southern Alberta. I would like to be able to contribute as a team to the search for resources and the representation of the services of the FPFA in a minority setting.

CHRISTINE AUBIN

Director

I am involved in the FPFA because I want to share my 15 years of experience within the school council and the society of friends, and above all because the French-speaking world is close to my heart, and I want to continue to support our French-speaking families.

GENEVIÈVE GÉLINAS

Director

I am involved in FPFA because the Francophonie is close to my heart and it’s important for me to have access to programs and services in French. I think we must unite in order to maintain our roots and continue to flourish in our beautiful French language. FPFA is an organization promoting this objective, namely the preservation of our Francophonie.

Kirsten Wallace

MÉLANIE MEYER

Director

I am involved in the FPFA because I am grateful for the choice Francophones have to be able to pursue an education in French, and I hope that this choice can continue to evolve in all spheres of communication. By being part of the FPFA council, I hope to participate in the progress of our beautiful language.

PIERRE FLOC’H-ANDERSON

Director

I am involved in FPFA because I want to :

share my 15+ years of experience as a francophone parent in Alberta: relationships with school principals and school boards, fundraising for societies, relationships with parents (established and newcomers)
continue to increase the participation of Francophones in the southern part of the province (from Bellevue to Airdrie, Canmore to Medicine Hat)
assist Alberta parents through FPFA resources to achieve their goal of educating their children in French
