Montr\u00e9al, September 15, 2021<\/strong> \u2013 After more than 25 years as the Chief Executive Officer of B\u00e2tirente, Daniel Simard has confirmed to its Board of Directors his intention to retire. \u00c9ric Filion, Chief Operating Officer for the organization, has been appointed to take over as CEO. His appointment will be effective October\u00a06. To ensure a smooth and orderly transition, Mr. Simard will remain with B\u00e2tirente as a special management advisor until June 30,\u00a02022.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs B\u00e2tirente\u2019s first chief executive officer, after serving as a union advisor at the CSN for over 15\u00a0years, Daniel Simard was able to create a pension system that is unique in Quebec,\u201d says Yvan Duceppe, CSN\u2019s treasurer and chair of B\u00e2tirente\u2019s Board of Directors. \u201cThanks to his work and visionary qualities, thousands of workers can look forward to a better retirement.\u201d<\/p>\n

B\u00e2tirente\u2019s Board of Directors would like to acknowledge Daniel Simard\u2019s outstanding contribution to B\u00e2tirente\u2019s success since its founding nearly 35\u00a0years ago. Mr.\u00a0Simard has served on the Board since the first election of directors in 1989. Today, under his leadership, B\u00e2tirente has more than 24,000\u00a0members, including more than 1,000\u00a0retired members. It also distinguishes itself by its leadership in responsible investing and its ambitious climate commitment.<\/p>\n

\u201cI would like to thank all of the current and past Board members and B\u00e2tirente\u2019s member unions for their support, as well as successive team members,\u201d says Daniel Simard. \u201cIt is the sum of these contributions that has made B\u00e2tirente what it is today: a strong, solid and responsible organization.\u201d<\/p>\n

Appointed by the Board of Directors to take over, \u00c9ric Filion is a trained actuary and has already been with B\u00e2tirente for five years as Chief Operating Officer. Prior to that, he held various positions in a major Quebec financial institution for nearly 20\u00a0years. \u201c\u00c9ric Filion\u2019s knowledge of B\u00e2tirente\u2019s mission and values, as well as his expertise, made him an ideal successor for our organization,\u201d says Mr.\u00a0Duceppe. \u201cAfter a rigorous process, the selection committee was convinced of his ability to lead B\u00e2tirente into this new phase for the benefit of unions and their members.<\/p>\n

\u201cB\u00e2tirente is a unique organization that has always put the unions that trust it and their members at the heart of its work,\u201d says \u00c9ric Filion. \u201cI am honoured and very pleased to be appointed as Chief Executive Officer. I am excited to continue the work and operation of B\u00e2tirente.\u201d<\/p>\n
