She was the\u00a0first recipient of the McGill-HEC Montr\u00e9al EMBA First Peoples\u2019 Scholarship. At the start of the program she explained: \u201cThroughout my career, I have continuously worked to improve the quality of life for my community, in areas such as the recognition of indigenous rights, negotiation, and economic, social and community development. My career is now at a turning point and for me it is obvious that I needed to attain a higher level of education; I needed to absorb new concepts and approaches. The EMBA helped me to further work with community members that wished to move towards self-governance. \u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her new role as Chief of the Micmac Nation of Gespeg band Council will allow her to continue working towards these goals.<\/p>\n<p><em>To learn more about the election, Manon Jeannotte and the Micmac Nation of Gespeg:<\/em><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ici.radio-canada.ca\/regions\/est-quebec\/2015\/07\/15\/013-elections-nation-micmaque-gespeg.shtml\">Une victoire \u00e0 l&#8217;arrach\u00e9 pour la nouvelle chef de Gespeg \u2013 Radio-Canada<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ici.radio-canada.ca\/regions\/est-quebec\/2015\/07\/15\/013-elections-nation-micmaque-gespeg.shtml\">Des \u00e9lections dimanche au conseil de bande de\u00a0Gespeg \u2013 Radio-Canada <\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/2014\/08\/18\/emba-mcgill-hec-montreal-presents-two-40000-scholarships-two-outstanding-managers-louise-richer-manon-jeannotte\/\">The EMBA McGill-HEC Montreal presents two $ 40,000 scholarships to two outstanding managers: Louise Richer and Manon Jeannotte<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Sources: Radio-Canada<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past Sunday, Manon Jeannotte, current EMBA McGill-HEC Montr\u00e9al participant, was elected Chief of the Micmac Nation of Gespeg band Council.
