The McGill-HEC Montr\u00e9al EMBA offers two types of scholarships, one for leaders of Aboriginal origin, the other for managers of non-profit organizations. This year, the McGill-HEC Montr\u00e9al EMBA program awarded one of its scholarships to Maxime Allard, director of the volunteer cooperation program at the Paul G\u00e9rin-Lajoie Foundation.<\/p>\n

Maxime has been working in the non-profit and international cooperation world for more than eleven years. He has held various roles in organizations such as Canada World Youth and Oxfam-Qu\u00e9bec before joining the Paul G\u00e9rin-Lajoie Foundation.<\/p>\n

The Paul G\u00e9rin-Lajoie Foundation\u2019s mission is to contribute to the improvement of the living conditions of populations through quality education in Africa and Haiti. The Foundation coordinates many projects each year aimed at strengthening the capacities and well-being of communities while having education at the heart of each of its interventions. In Quebec, the Paul G\u00e9rin-Lajoie Foundation\u2019s flagship project is La Dict\u00e9e P.G.L.<\/em><\/p>\n

After just over two years in his current role, leading an international project and a team of 20 employees, Maxime felt the need to push his learning further. Following his analysis of the different program choices available to him, Maxime selected the EMBA program for its pedagogy:<\/p>\n

\u00abLes MBA et EMBA des autres universit\u00e9s sont une s\u00e9rie de cours de 1 \u00e0 3 cr\u00e9dits o\u00f9 sont transmises principalement des connaissances, alors que l\u2019EMBA de McGill et HEC Montr\u00e9al repose sur le d\u00e9veloppement de savoir-faire et de savoir-\u00eatre essentiels \u00e0 des fonctions de leadership, ce qui m\u2019interpelle beaucoup plus.\u00bb <\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Executive MBA program will allow him to develop as a leader in order to increase his contribution to the strategic reflexions and the medium and long-term development of his organization.<\/p>\n

Maxime is also a seasoned cyclist who has traveled impressive distances such as Montreal-\u00celes de la Madeleine, Vancouver-San Francisco or even Cairo-Cape Town on two wheels. However, Maxime’s true passion is “to surpass himself and take on challenges that are difficult to complete”.<\/p>\n

\u00abC\u2019est pourquoi mon dernier voyage de v\u00e9lo fut sur la c\u00f4te Ouest am\u00e9ricaine, moi qui d\u00e9teste les c\u00f4tes. C\u2019est pourquoi je suis inscrit \u00e0 mon 3<\/em>e <\/em>triathlon Ironman cet \u00e9t\u00e9. [\u2026] Mais c\u2019est aussi pourquoi en 2001, alors que je me dirigeais vers une carri\u00e8re paisible et bien r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9e en science de la sant\u00e9, j\u2019ai d\u00e9cid\u00e9 de tout laisser tomber et de recommencer dans un domaine qui me m\u00e8nera vers la coop\u00e9ration internationale. \u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Beyond his interest in strategic thinking, in developing his networking skills, and in taking his career to another level, for Maxime, the attraction of the EMBA McGill-HEC Montr\u00e9al also lies in the challenge that it represents. A time challenge, obviously, but also challenging himself to make sure that the program’s learning has a real impact in his organization and in the non-profit world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":15005,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,3702875,3702873],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15004"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15004"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15004\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":15009,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15004\/revisions\/15009"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15005"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15004"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15004"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.embamcgillhec.ca\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15004"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
