--le 25 janvier 2024.

C’est avec une grande tristesse que le RPAQ annonce le décès de notre cher ami et collègue Kevin O’Donnell.  Kevin a siégé au Conseil d’administration du RPAQ de 2006 à 2008 et en a été le président de 2008 à 2013. Meneur infatigable et sans peur, il n’a jamais craint d’exprimer le fond de sa pensée. Il entretenait une vision forte de notre organisation et travaillait passionnément à en élargir la mission. Il aura continué à nous appuyer jusqu’à ses dernières heures. Tu vas nous manquer, Kevin!
