Carolle Chartrand – OMVA Membership Coordinator since February 2013

I am the OMVA membership coordinator and I am responsible for updating the membership list and printing labels for the mailing of the magazine.

I am presently working full time as an administrative assistant for a Crown Corporation in Ottawa. I hold a Secretarial Diploma. I am bilingual: French and English and I presently study Spanish. I am a decorated veteran. While in the Regular Forces, I was a Medic by trade and I travelled overseas while in the Canadian Forces. I was also a member of the Reserve Forces for several years.

I held the position of Secretary and then Secretary-Treasurer for several years for a Non-Profit leisure organization for the Municipality of Cantley, QC. I have some accounting training and experience which is part of the Secretarial diploma. I am not an accountant but can balance cheque books, pay bills and provide a simple Financial Statement. I was also the Secretary and Treasurer for my husband and my son’s business companies in Cantley, QC for 13 years.
In my full time job, I manage a large budget..

I own a M1010- 1985 Box Ambulance and drive a 1985 Iltis. I actively participate in several parades, static displays from Ottawa to Kingston areas. I am a member of the Frontenac Military Association.

I am applying for the position of Treasurer for the OMVA.
Since I am currently the Membership coordinator for the OMVA, it would make it easier for me to be in the role of both positions so that I could update the membership list in a timely manner and I would be in a better position to reply on membership inquiries if I could handle the payments. Should I be the next Treasurer, I am planning to issue receipts for all membership renewals so as to provide a clear and easy verification from the OMVA and to the members.

Thank you to those who nominated me.
