• Laureen Bardou

    Director

    Two career paths, in art history/museology and arts administration, have informed Laureen’s work in numerous museums both in Montreal and abroad. As an internationally accredited CFRE (Certified Fund Raising Executive), she has more than eight years of experience in arts administration, in the university milieu and the health system.

    Convinced of the determinant role art contributes to collective good, and of its benefits towards an understanding of social problems, she believes that philanthropy can be an essential tool towards resolution of these problems; Laureen works to facilitate conversation with donors desiring to create a better world.

    To further foster this professional passion, Laureen sits on the Board of the Association of Professionals in Philanthropy (AFP — Québec), in addition to the Ensemble Obiora.
