Board of Directors

A responsible administration

Villa Youville is managed by a transparent, reliable and competent board of directors, dedicated to the happiness of our seniors. This Board consists of nine members: one is a resident of the Villa, another is an employee, and the other seven come from the different communities in the region. They are elected by the members of the Villa Youville corporation at their annual, general meeting.

Villa Youville is exclusively accountable to its members, the sole owners of the company. It does not answer to the Regional Health Authority or to the Minister of Housing. However, it signs service contracts with them, and undertakes to offer certain services that they agree to finance. The Villa must comply with regulations and provincial standards.

Quality and commitment

Our Board members are experienced and knowledgeable. But beyond their knowledge, they distinguish themselves by their commitment to our organization and the elderly in general. They live the organization’s mission and values fully. In their work, they demonstrate dedication, patience and even phenomenal memory! Outstanding volunteers, they deserve recognition not only for their time, but also for their wisdom and governance skills.
