Her determination and disciplined managerial style coupled with her commitment and dedication to the Centre allowed her to reach her goals and help the Centre move forward during a time marked by significant social and economical upheavals. She weathered many storms during which the Centre\u2019s survival was in peril all the while meeting demanding challenges in order for IRCGM to play a key role in the socio-community field.<\/p>\n<p>Under her leadership, she laid the foundation for financial diversification, whether it was developing specialized helplines in addiction, the Referral Helpline for Seniors or launching the TeleCounseling for Excessive Gamblers pilot project. She led the Centre towards financial stability thanks to the implementation of these new services, but also thanks to the IRCGM\u2019s Foundation acquiring a building, which constitutes to this day a key element in the Centre\u2019s sustainability.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Her commitment to the Centre and to those who worked for her never wavered. She was a member of the IRCGM\u2019s Foundation Board of Directors until the end, still motivated by her vision of the Centre\u2019s future.<\/p>\n<p>During the years Lorraine Bilocq-Lebeau was at the helm of the organization, she succeeded, against the odds, in making sure IRCGM was always able to fulfill its mission of\u00a0<em>helping through information<\/em>. It could be said that she had the capabilities of being both leader and hard worker. The Centre\u2019s history can attest to her perfect path of hitting such targets as diversification of activities and financial consolidation. Today, the strong foundations on which the next person can rely on, have paved the way for the execution of great projects.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Lorraine, accept our gratitude for all you have accomplished for the Centre. Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Me Louis-Philippe Bourgeois, CRIA, President of the Information and Referral Centre of Greater Montr\u00e9al\u2019s Board of Directors.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Information and Referral Centre of Greater Montr\u00e9al will have been the project of a lifetime for Lorraine Bilocq Lebeau, who died on July 12.
