Christine and I have a connection as we have both worked in forest policy and communications roles.  She gives us professional insight from her role in  with EACOM Timber Corporations, one of Canada’s largest softwood lumber producers.   Her most valuable tip: " Don’t be afraid to share your perspective at  school/work, or your story on social media. If you keep it positive and  respectful, then you can say what’s on your mind."    Follow her on  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-leduc-ba73065a/ or Twitter: https://twitter.com/leducchr   Christine obtained  a Bachelor of Sciences and a Master of Forest Conservation from the  University of Toronto’s Faculty of Forestry. Upon graduating from the  UofT’s MFC program, she held policy positions in the office of the  Ontario Minister of Natural Resources and the Ontario  Forest Industries Association. Christine has been the Director of Public Affairs since 2015. She  was a recipient of the Prince of Wales Award for Sustainable Forestry  and the Ontario Professional Foresters Association Fernow Award. Christine is also a board member for Forests Ontario, a  member of the advisory council for the It Takes a Forest campaign, and a  member of Women for Nature, an initiative by Nature Canada.
