Project Advisory Committee Members

CELI’s Project Advisory Committee (PAC) consists of 7 members who represent a cross-section of sectors in the ESCQ, including education, research, and social and economic development. Together, the PAC members have reach across Quebec’s 17 regions, and their sectoral expertise enriches CELI’s goal of supporting community-based service providers to implement their literacy and essential skills, and employment and employability services and programs. Additionally, the PAC informs CELI’s research activities, identifying timely sector-specific topics of value to the community of practice. The PAC also advises on the development of the CELI community grants framework as well as the creation of a strategic partnership plan.
