F
orty-seven years have
passed since Micheline
Foucher began working
for the CPCA in different
capacities. At the time, the office was
situated in Montreal and she has been with the organization
since its relocation to Ottawa in 2006. She has worked out
of eight different offices during her career. Her first job was
as a receptionist. She has since held various positions with
increasing responsibility, most recently serving as Director of
Administration. To go on to the next chapter of her life, Micheline
has decided to leave her current position; her colleagues and
industry members will greatly miss her because she was the
longest-serving and considered one of CPCA's most dedicated
team members.
Micheline worked under seven presidents during her
time at the CPCA, as well as with other regional associations
that were in existence at the time, such as the Ontario Paint
Association, the Winnipeg Paint Association, the AQIP in
Quebec, and, of course, the ACA and members of the World
Coatings Council, among others (formerly IPPIC). A countless
number of committee meetings, yearly meetings, and numerous
networking activities, such as golf tournaments and Christmas
luncheons, have been organized with her assistance. She has
spent most of her professional career working for the Canadian
Paint and Coatings Association (CPCA). She has planned events
across the country, including the Annual Conference and AGM,
semi-annual Architectural and Industrial Committee meetings,
and several World Coatings Council meetings held in Canada.
Micheline was well-known among the CPCA personnel and
many members and their spouses/partners for her commitment
to putting on a good show, agility, helpfulness, humorous nature,
and much more. She has seen numerous firms come and go
in her career, mainly due to consolidation. She has worked
for three generations of many Canadian family-owned paint
companies, some of which are still in business today! In her role
as association administrator, Micheline has diligently ensured
that all the association administration standards have been met.
In contrast, staff has continued to serve CPCA members on the
numerous matters before them.
During the annual conference in Quebec City, on May 25
and 26, 2022, Micheline will be given an official recognition
