April 23, 2021 –
The Canada China Forum is pleased to welcome Kyra Colbert (Academic Director), David Perez-Des Rosiers (Special Representative to Mainland China) Jonathan Kolodychuk (Finance Director), and Julia Nguyen (Franco-Affairs Director) to the Secretariat Team. All four individuals bring unique perspectives and diverse experiences to the Forum.
This expansion of the Secretariat Team is an important step for the Forum as we expand and move towards our goal of becoming a representative slice of emerging Canadian leaders. These leaders are dedicated to deepening their understanding of China and the Canada-China bilateral relationship in service of Canada’s national interest.
The Forum, as an organization, is committed to promoting academic programming/partnerships with educational institutions (both in Canada and abroad) as well as expanding relationships with stakeholders in the Canadian Francophone community. We also recognize the importance of continued financial oversight and sustainability as we grow as an organization.
Welcome, Kyra, David, Jonathan, and Julia!
