Anne-Marie Jean has been at the head of Culture Montréal since August, 2005. As Director General, her main responsibilities are to supervise the implementation of Culture Montréal's strategic plan, which consists of promoting cultural development in Montreal. She also ensures that this democratic organization maintains an active presence within the cultural sector and the various levels of government. The mobilization of Culture Montréal's members working towards the cultural future of their city is at the heart of her concerns.
First and foremost a woman of communications, Ms. Jean has worked in the fields of television production, corporate communications, and organizational development for over fifteen years. She also has a clear understanding of Canadian economic and environmental issues, the machinery of government, and political systems, thanks to a formative period spent in Ottawa as a political attaché for various ministries.
Anne-Marie Jean holds a B.A. in Communications as well as business training from the University of Ottawa.
Culture Montreal is an independent organization and place for reflexion and action that contributes to building Montreal’s future as a cultural metropolis through research, analysis and communication activities. Its mission is to assert the central role of the arts and culture in all areas of Montreal’s development: economy, buisness, politics, land-use planning, education, and social and community life while encouraging cultural diversity, emerging artists and practices and public art.
