A graduate in business administration at the École des hautes études commerciales de Montréal, Charles Lambert defines himself as the Obélix of social and student involvement, saying he fell into this role at an early age. What he hopes for above all else is to make a difference through his commitment. As early as during his secondary studies at the Pierre-de-Lestage high school, he held the position of president of the student council for three years. Next, at the Collège Maisonneuve, he acted as the pre-university students’ representative on the institution’s board of directors and became the president of the Coop Maisonneuve’s board of directors and executive council for which he elaborated a sponsorship policy and improved member services. Charles also pursued this course of action at HEC Montréal where he became executive vice-president of the Comité sports et loisirs, administrator for the Student Association of Management Faculties of Eastern Canada, and president of the establishment’s student association. His duties led him to contribute to the outline of a memorandum addressed to the parliamentary committee on the Québec university system and having the hours devoted to student involvement acknowledged by HEC Montréal.
