Hello! Bonjour! Hola! Ciao!
Thank you for giving me this honorable opportunity to be your President! Please allow me to introduce myself and the journey that has led me to this amazing role.
I began my Club Med journey at 18 in 1985, when I arrived in Turkoise as a hostess selling bar beads to our many GMs and, at times, GOs. My first week in the village gave me a glimpse into the future as Hurricane Kate arrived in full force. This was the first of many adventures in the 20 years I was gifted in the best University of Life. My main roles in the villages were on the Sports Team as an aerobics instructor, Chief of Sports, choreographer, and Chief of Animation. They promoted to one of the first newly created Coordinator of Animation positions. One of my biggest honors was becoming the very first female Land Sports worldwide, paving the way for future opportunities for my sister G.O.s. Over the years, I worked in every department, learning the different roles of Transportation, Room Planning, Annex Restaurant management, Laundry, Kayaking, Water Ski, Food and Beverage, Group Sales, Animation Team management, and Accounting. Understanding the demands and operations of each department led me to the amazing role of Chief of Village to whom I owe my deepest gratitude to Stephane Roiena who believed in me. My final five years in Club Med as Chief of Village paved the way for my next chapter in life: becoming an Executive Director for senior living facilities that operate similarly to a Club Med Village. I am now 16 years in this area of expertise, and I owe Club Med for providing me with the best education I could have received on how to operate a facility to its maximum potential.
Club Med gave me two amazing gifts: a fulfilling career and meeting my husband, to whom I have been married for 19 years. I have the most amazing friends worldwide, who fill my heart every day with love and support.
For these reasons, I felt it was best to give back to those who gave so much. This is the basis of how the Forever G.O. Pour Toujours was founded. How can we give back to an amazing company that allowed so many people worldwide to travel, make friends, learn new skills, and use those skills to start new careers.
It is my honor to serve and support you, and I will do so with the utmost integrity, dedication, humility, altruism, and commitment to keeping us connected so that more memorable lifelong memories may be cherished. Together, we can build a community that supports one another through transitions and assists when life challenges arise. I am here for you!
Forever yours,
Angie Boucher Turin
