Education, equity, and the promotion of respectful relationships and consent have always been at the heart of her work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before becoming a minister and member in October 2024, she was a university professor, conducting research on shared leadership, integrating creativity in decision-making, violence against women in academic settings, experiential learning, and the role of cultural mediation in minority Francophone communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An author, entrepreneur, businesswoman, speaker, mother, and \u201cMimi\u201d to little Charles-Antoine, she understands the importance of including women and girls in the technology sector. She highlights the need to create opportunities that allow them to thrive according to their aspirations while fostering communities that support them in achieving their goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Minister Boudreau also works toward systemic social change, adopting an intersectional and intergenerational approach. Through initiatives guided by a 360-degree perspective, she pursues goals of equity, respect, and empowerment, with a particular commitment to preventing domestic violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Her motto, \u201cNothing about us without us,\u201d reflects her desire to build a more inclusive, fair, and equitable society. Her contributions have earned her numerous awards for her volunteer efforts to end violence against women and children, including the Dialogue NB Award (2020), the VIVE Award, the Queen Elizabeth II Platinum Jubilee Medal (2023), and the Muriel McQueen Fergusson Award (2024).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":6163,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Minister Lyne Chantal","cu_people_last_name":"Boudreau","cu_people_initials":"","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-6176","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Guest Speaker at the 2025 Riddell Reception","cu_people_degree":"","cu_building":false,"cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"none","cu_people_designation":"","cu_people_email":"","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/6176","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/6176\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6179,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/6176\/revisions\/6179"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6163"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6176"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=6176"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/politicalmanagement\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=6176"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
