Anne Élisabeth Thibault

À n’en point douter, les temps présents sont aux défis de toutes sortes! C’est dans un contexte de pandémie que j’ai, en janvier 2021, pris la direction de Pointe-à-Callière. Il serait juste d’affirmer que ce mandat mérite  toute mon attention; mais voilà, je crois qu’il faut voir par-delà les murs de notre établissement, et je suis convaincue de l’importance du travail collectif au bénéfice de nos concitoyens. Cet état d’esprit motive ma  démarche auprès de vous et explique pourquoi je soumets ma candidature au conseil d’administration  d’ICOM-Canada, auquel je serais honorée d’agir à titre de membre.

Je mets à votre disposition vingt ans d’expérience professionnelle dans le domaine de la muséologie, du  patrimoine, du développement des technologies, de la gestion des ressources humaines, financières et  matérielles. Au sein d’équipes performantes – Moment Factory, FLOAT4 –, dont celles de Pointe-à-Callière,  j’ai réalisé des projets d’envergure qui leur ont valu une renommée nationale et internationale. En tant  qu’individu, mes pairs diront que je suis une personne d’équipe; on me reconnaît du leadership, de  l’entregent et une grande capacité à motiver mes troupes.

Mes nombreux séjours à l’étranger, lors de conférences ou au moment de négocier des ententes pour la  tenue de grandes expositions, m’ont aussi permis de mesurer le haut degré d’estime que nos collègues des  autres pays portent au savoir-faire muséal canadien. Forte de mon expérience et de l’intérêt que je porte  à ICOM-Canada, j’aimerais être des vôtres afin de contribuer concrètement à la réalisation de sa mission et  de ses projets rassembleurs.

 

Dr Sarah Carr-Locke

I would like to formally submit my name for consideration as a board director.

I would bring several key strengths to the board: a practical knowledge of museum leadership; academic expertise in museum anthropology; practical and theoretical understanding of Indigenous reconciliation with museums; experience with all levels of government arts and culture policy; as well as an understanding of museology, culture, and heritage in Canada’s north. I am dedicated to supporting Indigenous people in Canada to tell their own stories and continuing to look at ways to decolonize and modernize Canada’s arts and culture institutions.

I am interested in this position to learn about ICOM as a global organization and to mobilize it to supporting Canada’s museums to continue to play a positive role in society.

I have previous board experience in the arts and culture field, and take pride in my dedication, leadership, and contributions to those organizations. With a passion for art, culture, and archaeology, I believe I can make a positive impact by working with ICOM on the board.
