Since taking up his Board duties, Luc Maurice has always had great ambitions for the Foundation. In addition to showing tireless support for aging research, he took concrete steps to ensure that the Foundation has the resources it needs to carry out its work and activities aimed at improving seniors\u2019 living conditions and personal health. It bears repeating that the Foundation\u2019s values and mission are perfectly aligned with those of the man and of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legroupemaurice.com\/en\/about-us\/our-mission-and-values\/\">Le Groupe Maurice<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>High-impact initiatives<\/strong><br \/>\nIn keeping with his philosophy, Luc Maurice gave 100% throughout his tenure as Chair as he sought to raise awareness among his private and professional acquaintances alike. Since he took up his duties as Chair, $647,331 in donations were made via his own foundation, along with approximately $813,500 from Le Groupe Maurice itself. In 2012, Luc Maurice successfully raised $600,000 for the construction of an amphitheatre at the Montreal University Geriatric Institute to facilitate the holding of larger-scale gatherings. All told, over <strong>$2,060,800<\/strong> was raised while he served as Chair!<\/p>\n<p>And these generous contributions don\u2019t stop there! Seeking to improve seniors\u2019 health and to promote their status and socialization, Luc Maurice raised awareness further still by bringing together COGIR, Chartwell and Le Groupe Maurice in 2015\/2016 to organize Part\u00c2ge, a large-scale networking event at which the main actors in Quebec\u2019s senior housing sector share their expertise. All proceeds go to <a href=\"http:\/\/centreavantage.ca\/\">Centre Avant\u00c2ge<\/a>, which publishes the results of IUGM\u2019s most recent scientific research.<\/p>\n<p>While Luc Maurice may be leaving his position as Chair, his dearest wish is that the FIGM will continue to promote its humanist goals in pursuit of excellence while advancing scientific research and thus enhancing seniors\u2019 well-being across Quebec. To be sure, seniors\u2019 quality of life has been improving. Still, it is important for us not to rest on our laurels or become complacent with the status quo.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Quote<\/strong><\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Mr. Maurice has undeniably left his mark on the Foundation during his time with us. He brought a dose of energy, generosity, and sensitivity to all our members and the business community. He has left his mark and it is clear that we will continue in his footsteps; he remains an inspiration for us<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Francine Sen\u00e9cal<\/strong>, IUGM&#8217;s Chief
