Gisele Danis

With my Franco-Albertan background and diverse experiences, I am confident in my ability to make a substantial positive contribution to the organization.

As a Calgary native deeply connected to the promotion of French-speaking culture, I come from a family that has actively supported bilingual schools and the establishment of a French-speaking Catholic Church in Calgary. Following in their footsteps, I have volunteered extensively in support of various French events and festivals. My previous role as a board member at Alliance Française in Calgary, along with my past board experience of the Canadian French Economic Development and Tourism Bureau of Alberta (CDEA), demonstrates my commitment to the French community.

I am dedicated to advancing the mission of Alliance Française, promoting French-culture, and expanding the organization's reach in Vancouver. Leveraging my network and advocacy skills, I aim to strengthen programs and cultivate an inclusive and diverse community, fostering a deep appreciation for French-speaking cultures and Canada's dual linguistic heritage.

With a background in strategic planning and community engagement, I am poised to support the board's efforts in achieving Alliance Française's goals. I am enthusiastic about the prospect of collaborating with the board and contributing to the continued success of Alliance Française in Vancouver.
