SCBWI regions are run by members like you! SCBWI leaders are all volunteers who have committed to helping others get the most out of their membership.
The SCBWI Canada East Regional Team helps members of Canada East feel supported and connected to a local creative community of writers, illustrators, and translators of children’s literature.
Our Regional Team members are:
Regional Advisor (RA) — Michelle Jodoin, canadaeast-ra@scbwi.org
Assistant Regional Advisor (ARA) — Elena Dee, canadaeast-ara@scbwi.org
Illustrator Coordinator (IC) — Marie-Laure Couët, canadaeast-ic@scbwi.org
Translator Coordinator (TC) — Kelly Zhang, canadaeast-tc@scbwi.org
And we could not deliver our programs without the help of our webmaster. Rachel Eugster works diligently to ensure that our website is up to date, that event registration runs smoothly, and that our members have access to resources to help them on their creative journey. She also serves as our web editor. Contact Rachel.
Our cast of volunteers does not end there. The Regional Team owes an enormous debt of gratitude not only to our webmaster but to the many volunteers who help ensure that our chapter continues to be active and vibrant:
Our Get-Together Coordinators organize free local events, providing opportunities to socialize and network with other SCBWI members. Others volunteer at conferences and retreats, or with specific tasks.
More help is always appreciated! If you would like to pitch in, please reach out to any of us, at the email addresses given above. Volunteering is a wonderful way to deepen your knowledge of the industry and your craft.
