July 06, 2022
Roy Goodall, Federal Retirees’ new president
The Federal Retirees community welcomes longtime volunteer Roy Goodall as its president, along with four new district directors.
 

Following the elections that took place on June 23 during Federal Retirees’ 2022 annual meeting of members, we’d like to introduce you to the new members of our national board of directors. In 2022, five three-year positions were up for election: president and directors for the British Columbia and Yukon, Ontario, Quebec and Atlantic districts.

The Association has found its new president in Roy Goodall. Roy is a longtime volunteer who joined the Calgary and District Branch board in 2005 and the national board of directors in 2014. Roy served in the Canadian Armed Forces for 38 years and brings with him comprehensive financial, personnel and project management experience in both national and international settings. Roy takes the role over from Jean-Guy Soulière, who served two consecutive terms.

Michael Jolicoeur has been elected to the role of director for the District of B.C. and Yukon, replacing Randy Wilson. A member of the Victoria-Fred Whitehouse Branch, Michael previously served on his branch’s board as both treasurer and president.

Ted Young has been elected to the role of director for the District of Ontario, replacing Linda MacDonald. Ted served as a director on the Kitchener-Waterloo and District Branch board before being elected to the national board of directors in 2014.

Andrée Lise Provost has been elected to the role of director for the District of Quebec, replacing James Nicholson. Andrée Lise joined the Federal Retirees volunteer team in 2021 as the advocacy program officer (APO) for the District of Quebec and also previously served as vice-president of the Outaouais Branch.

Roland Wells has been elected to the role of director for the District of Atlantic, replacing Léonard LeBlanc. Roland began volunteering with the Central Newfoundland Branch in 2020 eventually becoming the branch’s vice-president in 2021.

We hope you’ll join us in wholeheartedly welcoming our new board members and in thanking our departing board members for giving generously of their time and expertise during a particularly challenging period for the Association and for all Canadians.
