MONTREAL – March 11, 2025 – Clientis, a long-time partner of RDÉE Prince Edward Island, has renewed its Gold-level sponsorship of the Acadian Entrepreneurs’ Gala hosted by the Acadian and Francophone Chamber of Commerce of PEI (CCAFLIPE) for a fourth consecutive year. In fact, Clientis is the Quebec agency that helps coordinate RDÉE sales missions to Quebec, organizes sales meetings for Island businesses and delivers their sales training.

Last fall, Robert Maddix, center, RDÉE’s mission coordinator, met with two representatives of the firm, Claude Collin, left, B2B business development strategist, and president Sébastian Roy, to accept their sponsorship.

In exchange for this sponsorship, the agency will have the privilege of presenting a certificate to the sole finalist of the 2024 Social Economic Business, the Abram-Village Handcraft Co-op. Maddix will represent Clientis at the Gala as the company’s team, based in Longueil, QC, is unable to attend. CCAFLIPE and RDÉE greatly appreciate this sponsorship, which will help defray the expenses of their biggest entrepreneurial recognition evening of the year.

Now in its 23nd year, the Gala will take place on Saturday, March 22, at 5:30 p.m. at the Village musical acadien in Abram-Village. Six entrepreneurial awards will be presented, and four retired or near-retirement entrepreneurs will be inducted into the Acadian and Francophone Business Hall of Fame. Tickets are on sale at the Wellington Rural Action Centre until Friday, March 14, either in person, by email at marthe@rdeeipe.org or by phone at 902-854-3439.
