Mr. Speaker, the Réseau des femmes d'affaires du Québec recently gave out awards to nine women who have excelled in business. This second edition of the awards had some 22 finalists.
I am proud to announce that Geneviève Verrier, Director of Operations for Alpha, an insurance company headquartered in Drummondville, was awarded the top prize in the category “executive or professional, SME”.
Since she joined Alpha in 1998, insurance premiums revenues rose from $8 million to $14 million.
This was not mere chance, but the result of a sustained effort by many people.
My congratulations to all those who contributed to the success of this SME in my area, and particular congratulations to Geneviève Verrier on her award.
