Las Vegas, NV, November 12, 2021 – The RVDA of Canada has announced the 2022 Board of Directors, as elected at the AGM held during the RVDA Convention / Expo in Las Vegas.

Josée brings to the position an extensive background in the RV and automotive sectors. She joined the RV industry in 2012 when she purchased Roulottes Chaudière, an RV dealership located in the Québec City region.

Josée is currently finishing her 6th term as president of ACVRQ.
Ms. Bédard also put her marketing expertise to use as a director on the Go RVing Canada board which she joined in 2014. She became a member of the RVDA of Canada Board in 2016 and has served as Treasurer and Vice Chair before moving to the Chairman’s role. She is also a current director on the Canadian Camping & RV Council.
Josée volunteers within her community and she has been a director of the Fondation de l’Institut de réadaptation en déficience physque de Québec for more than ten years. She is an accomplished businesswoman, as well as a mother of two adult sons who are also involved in the business.
