The Mentorship Cell of Nicolet-Bécancour recently awarded the Yvon-Boudreau prize to Marie-Ève Dupont-Plamondon, president of Coup de pouce PME.

The Yvon-Boudreau prize has existed for 4 years. It was established by the Mentorship Cell of Nicolet-Bécancour in tribute to the humanist entrepreneur and former mentor who passed away in August 2015, Mr. Yvon Boudreau. This prize is aimed at a mentee who has distinguished themselves remarkably in terms of vision and originality of their business, for a particular initiative or contribution, for a significant contribution to the community, or for notable growth or development.

It was during the Annual General Meeting of the SADC of Nicolet-Bécancour on June 17 that the prize was awarded to Marie-Ève Dupont-Plamondon. Coup de pouce PME has set itself the mission of supporting businesses in maintaining their balance by offering innovative and concrete solutions. In 2019, Ms. Dupont-Plamondon was selected by the Mentorship Network to participate in the Mission France 2020, which was postponed to a later date due to the current pandemic.

The leader of the company located in Nicolet has developed her business at a pace that exceeds all expectations. Full of projects and development ideas, she seizes opportunities to promote the values and pillars of sustainable development. The entrepreneur aims to foster the development of entrepreneurial spirit among young people through interventions in schools, while encouraging civic engagement and volunteering.

The prize awarded is a trophy made by Nitek Laser of Nicolet, which the SADC wishes to thank for its valuable collaboration.
