Lise Dubé had a career in administration, mostly in Human Resources as Compensation and Benefits Manager in the private sector.
After the closure of the company she had been working at, Lise travelled and studied art for a period of time, but soon felt the need to fulfill her intellectual interests. After joining MCLL, she took several study groups, favouring those in history and in art. Simultaneously, she volunteered in the Office at MCLL where her previous experience proved itself valuable. Eventually, she was named assistant-registrar and later registrar, totalling eight memorable years of volunteer work among wonderful people, administrators, moderators and “students”, all devoted to the cause of lifelong learning.
One particular subject she really enjoyed was Dr. Ellen (Ellie) Clavier-Rothstein’s literature study group on Charles Dickens. There she became most interested in researching the personal life of this great author. Through her research, she enjoyed preparing several Power Point presentations, illustrating different facets of Dickens’ life, including his siblings, children, descendants, personal friends and the women in his life. Special emphasis was put on his daughter, Kate, who was a painter.
Lise is a proud member of the Montréal Dickens Society and enjoys participating in the literary and social activities Ellie initiates.
