TEC Canada

Congratulations to Alain Ouzilleau on being named Grand Estrien 2026 by the Sherbrooke Chamber of Commerce and Industry. 🏆

This recognition reflects more than business success, it celebrates a leader whose vision, commitment, and impact have helped strengthen both his organization and his community.

As a member of a TEC Canada group chaired by André Turcotte, Alain exemplifies the kind of values-driven leadership that creates lasting impact.

We are proud to celebrate this well-deserved honour. Congratulations, Alain!

Félicitations à Alain Ouzilleau pour sa nomination à titre de Grand Estrien 2026 par la Chambre de commerce et d’industrie de Sherbrooke. 🏆

Cette distinction souligne bien plus qu’un parcours entrepreneurial remarquable : elle reconnaît un leader dont la vision, l’engagement et l’impact contribuent au rayonnement de son entreprise et de sa communauté.

Membre d’un groupe TEC Canada animé par André Turcotte, Alain incarne un leadership humain et inspirant qui crée une valeur durable.

Nous sommes fiers de souligner cet honneur pleinement mérité. Félicitations, Alain!

Leadership doesn't always happen around a boardroom table.

Last week, TEC Chair Robert Murray and his KEY Group (5304) took their Executive Session outdoors with a walking issue-processing session along Vancouver's Seawall before spending the afternoon volunteering at Ronald McDonald House.

Together, they prepared, served, and cleaned up 127 meals for families supporting children receiving care at BC Children's Hospital.

A great reminder that leadership is about more than business...it's about community, connection, and giving back 👏

Tomorrow, TEC Chair Helen Hodgson welcomes Brian Brennan to lead a session on one of the most important aspects of leadership: connecting with people. Most leaders know how to read the numbers. The real advantage comes from understanding the personalities, communication styles, and motivations behind them.

Business owner in the Greater Vancouver area? A limited number of guest seats are available for this June 10 TEC session. Reach out to Helen Hodgson to learn more!

There’s something powerful about stepping away from the day-to-day to work on your business instead of in it. Last week, members of a TEC Canada/Vistage group came together for a day of candid conversations, shared experiences, and valuable peer-to-peer insights. When accomplished leaders openly share their challenges, ideas, and perspectives, everyone benefits.

The day concluded with an engaging professional development session led by Jeska Brodbeck who explored how organizations can create a state of flow, drawing inspiration from the same principles elite athletes use to perform at their highest level.

A special thank you to Richard Belanger for capturing and sharing these great photos from the day! 📷

A quick reminder that registration is still open for The Next Chapter: Leadership, Impact & the TEC Chair Experience on June 19 in Winnipeg.

If you've ever found yourself wondering what comes next after a successful leadership career, this is a great opportunity to explore the conversation. Join us for breakfast, connect with other experienced executives, hear from TEC Chairs, and learn how leaders are continuing to make an impact by helping others grow and succeed.

It's shaping up to be a great morning, and we'd love to see you there.
