After more than six years of remarkable dedication, Gynet Séguin is taking a well-deserved retirement, having left a lasting mark on the Cooperative through her people-centered leadership, her vision, and everything she has sown with heart over the years. Her contribution is invaluable, and her legacy will continue to inspire us for a long time.
Thank you, Gynet
