Candidate for a position on the board of directors1
GROUP 1
MICHEL SAYUMWE
Occupation: Accounting science teacher
Gender: Man
Age group: 50-64
Skills that match the board's criteria for 2023: financial
management, accounting, governance, law/ethics and education
Reasons for running
My candidacy is motivated by several reasons. First, I share the same values of cooperation as the
Mouvement Desjardins in general and the Caisse de l’Éducation in particular. Indeed, I am a member of
the Desjardins Group since 2002. When I discovered the existence of the Caisse de l'Éducation in 2017, I
decided to open a second account in this financial institution dedicated to the world of education to which
I have the privilege to belong to. Indeed, and this is my second reason that motivates my candidacy, I am
a professor of accounting sciences at the School of Management of the University of Quebec in Montreal
(ESG UQAM) since June 1st, 2011 and contribute to the mission of this institution, which is the production,
transmission and democratization of knowledge. Thirdly, my academic and professional training will allow
me to contribute to the board of directors of the Caisse de l’Éducation. As shown in my résumé, I graduated
twice from ESG UQAM, with a bachelor's degree in accounting sciences (2004) and a master's degree in
accounting sciences (2006). I also hold a doctorate (Ph.D.) in business administration from HEC Montréal,
with a specialization in accounting sciences (2012). Furthermore, I deeply studied governance issues and
obtained a university certification from Université Laval (2016). Finally, I hold several professional
designations: Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA), Certified Board Director (ASC), Chartered
Manager (Adm.A) and Forensic Accountant (CFF). I thus have skills in accounting, financial management
and governance. In terms of experience, I have already sat on the board of directors of a non-profit
organization dedicated to Quebec youth.
If my candidacy is successful, I would also like to integrate at least one committee of the board of directors
such as the audit committee or the governance committee.

GROUP 1
Nancy Marrelli
Occupation: Archivist
Gender: Woman
Age group: 65 and up
Skills that match the board's criteria for 2023: Cooperation,
governance, HR management, communication, education and
information technology
Reasons for running
I am a very long term and active member of the Caisse de l'Éducation and its predecessor, the Strathcona Credit Union. I have
used the services of these institutions exclusively throughout my adult life as I have a strong commitment to community-centred
organizations in general, and in particular to cooperative, user-owned financial institutions.
I have used, and continue to use, a wide variety of services of the Caisse over many decades: savings, loans, savings bonds,
mortgage, international transfers, online services, financial advisor services, and most recently financial management. I am fully
committed to the client-based services of the Caisse. I firmly believe that user-input into the governance of the Caisse is a linchpin
of its mandate and mission.
I have a long history of community involvement both personally and professionally and I believe it is important to be active in
community service. I believe my extensive experience on boards and committees of various kinds have provided me with the skills
and knowledge to make a positive contribution as a Director on the board of my Caisse. My many years on the Board of St-Mary's
Hospital (Montréal) and on various committees of the Board (including HR and Governance) have equipped me with the skills
required to participate in the governance of a large and complex organization that offers important community services.
As a bilingual senior, retired from a long career in the university sector dealing with many levels of information technology, and
part of the Italian-Canadian community of Montréal, I believe I meet the needs being sought for new Directors.
I look forward to making a contribution as a Director on the Board of Directors of the Caisse de l'Éducation!.

Reasons for running
Je suis membre de la Caisse Desjardins de l'éducation depuis mes débuts dans renseignement donc, dès
que j'ai appris l'existance de celle-ci. Je suis également un administrateur de cette caisse depuis plus de 4
ans.
De part ma fonction de libéré syndical, j'ai à coeur de demeurer à l'écoute et de représenter les membres
de mon milieu qu'est l'éducation. Ma contribution à l'essor de ma caisse est pour moi l'une des choses les
plus importantes sur laquelle je souhaite m'investir. Ma fonction de Trésorier au sein de mon organisation
depuis plus de 20 ans m'a permis d'acquérir et de développer mes habiletés en gestion financière. Gérer
avec rigueur les cotisations de nos membres est ma plus grande fierté!
De plus, j'ai également beaucoup d'expérience en gestion des ressources humaines car les conflits sont
choses courantes dans notre domaine! J'ai également été employeur par le passé avec des employés sous
ma responsabilité. J'ajouterais à mon expérience de travail le fait que mon parcours de formation est à jour.
Ces formations m'ont permises de comprendre une multitude de détails en lien direct avec le poste pour
lequel je postule.
Les dernières années comme administrateur de la Caisse Desjardins de l'Éducation font de moi un
administrateur beaucoup mieux informé et davantage aux faits des différentes visées et perspectives
d'avenir de ce mouvement. Je suis plus à l'aise avec les termes utilisés et les différents tableaux qui nous
sont présentés. Je commence tout juste à avoir l'impression que je peux, aujourd'hui, amener une meilleure
contribution à cette caisse et ainsi participer plus activement à son développement.
En conclusion, je crois que mon expertise, et ce dans les différentes sphères ci-haut mentionnées, ne
pourraient qu' être utiles à la Caisse. Je souhaite poursuivre mon mandat en tant qu'administrateur de la
Caisse Desjardins de l'Éducation afin de continuer à participer à son développement qui se rapproche de
plus en plus de mes convictions en soutenant et en contribuant au mieux-être économique et social du
personnel du secteur de l'éducation.

Reasons for running
Mon projet de vie a toujours été de devenir enseignante. Mon rêve s'est réalisé en 1976 et celui-ci est
devenu une passion à mesure que mes années d'enseignement avançaient. Cette passion a duré jusqu'en
1999 et s'est transformée au service de mes consoeurs et confrères en participant au conseil
d'administration du Syndicat de l'enseignement de la région des moulins. Étant trésorière, j'ai appronfondi
mon expérience en finances et en comptabilité. Aussi, en devenant présidente de ce même conseil de 2002
à 2007, m'a permis d'améliorer mon rôle d'animatrice et mon approche en ressources humaines. Lors de
ma prise de retraite, étant déjà sur le conseil d'administration de la Caisse Desjardins de l'Éducation, j'en
suis devenue présidente en 2014. Mon expérience, tout au long de ma carrière, me permet de jouer un rôle
important sur le conseil d'administration. Ma connaissance du milieu de l'éducation est pour moi, un atout
significatif. Le service aux membres est primordial pour moi.
Comme vous pouvez le constater, l'Éducation, c'est ma vie et j'en suis fière d'en faire partie. Administratrice
de la Caisse de l'Éducation,c'est le prolongement de ma carrière d'enseignante. Pour moi, la Caisse de
l'Éducation est le tremplin pour aider le personnel en éducation dans leur plan financier mais, c'est surtout
la meilleure alliée de tout ce peronnel.
