With considerable sadness we said au revoir to five board members: Karen Cho, Louise Campbell, Purna Bhattacharya, Lori Schubert and Keith Henderson.<\/p>\n<p>ELAN members elected eleven board members for two-year terms. The four new board members are Brian D\u2019Oliviera (Music), Emmanuel Hessler (Film and Video), Elise Moser (representing the Quebec Writer\u2019s Federation) and Anna Scollan (Corporate). Returning board members are Li Li (President\/Theatre), Kakim Goh, (Vice-President\/Visual Arts), Angie Cheng (Treasurer\/Dance), Patrick Lloyd Brennan (representing the Quebec Drama Federation), Isak Goldschneider (Music), Anna Levanthal (representing the Association of English Language Publishers of Quebec) and Roger Sinha (Dance). They join the six board members elected in 2019: Paul Bracegirdle (Writing &amp; Publishing), Blair Mackay (Arts Presenting Organizations), Tim Piper (Regions), Deirdre Potash (Regions), Victoria Sanchez (Film and Video) and Quinten Sheriff (Visual Arts).<\/p>\n<p>As most of you know, this was my last AGM as ELAN\u2019s Executive Director. I am proud of ELAN\u2019s dynamic, diverse board and our dedicated staff and I look forward to working with them during the coming months of transition and succession.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Here are a few screenshots from our 2020 AGM:<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-qu2oog-ebb800c201b9aa7cb01e804cad58837b\">\n#top .avia-gallery.av-qu2oog-ebb800c201b9aa7cb01e804cad58837b .avia-gallery-thumb a{\nwidth:20%;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-gallery av-qu2oog-ebb800c201b9aa7cb01e804cad58837b avia_animate_when_visible  avia-builder-el-0  avia-builder-el-no-sibling  avia_lazyload avia-gallery-animate avia-gallery-1'  itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><meta itemprop=\"contentURL\" content=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/en\/directors-message-september-2020\/\"><div class='avia-gallery-thumb'><a href=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/AGM-08-24-1030x651.png\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/AGM-08-24-1030x651.png 1030w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/AGM-08-24-600x379.png 600w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/AGM-08-24-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/AGM-08-24-768x486.png 768w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/AGM-08-24-705x446.png 705w, https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/AGM-08-24.png 1379w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1030px) 100vw, 1030px\" data-rel='gallery-1' data-prev-img='https:\/\/www.quebec-elan.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/AGM-08-24-495x400.png' class='first_thumb lightbox ' data-onclick='1' title='Screenshot 1 of ELAN&#8217;s 2020 AGM.
