The board of directors of Holstein Québec is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Daniel Marcheterre to the position of general manager.

Originally from a Holstein dairy farm in the Gaspé Peninsula, Mr. Marcheterre first studied agriculture at the CEGEP in Matane. He continued his education at Laval University, where he completed a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration.

We are confident that Mr. Marcheterre will be able to use his expertise and his knowledge of the agricultural community to the benefit of the Association’s membership, its clientele and its partners in dealing with the challenges facing Holstein Québec in the coming years.

It is with great enthusiasm that the board of directors of Holstein Québec and its staff bid him welcome.
