A new member joins CIGS developer DayStar’s Board of Directors
Entrepreneur Daniel Germain has a proven track record of starting and running a large organisation
DayStar Technologies has appointed Germain as an independent Director of the Board of Directors of the company.
He will serve both the Audit and Compensation Committees, as well as the broader Board, effective immediately.
"I am very pleased to welcome Daniel to the DayStar Board of Directors," said Peter Lacey, Chairman of the Board. "He brings invaluable experience as an entrepreneur and leader as President and Founder of Breakfast Clubs of Canada. Daniel's proven track record of starting and running a large organisation serving breakfast to over one hundred thousand school children a day shows his creativity and execution ability. In addition, he brings relationships and support from multi-nationals including Coca-Cola, McDonalds, Pratt and Whitney, and Wal-Mart."
"I am pleased to join DayStar's Board of Directors and I look forward to working with Peter and the management team to contribute to the company's next stage of growth," said Germain. "I hope to use my entrepreneurial background and contacts to help the company explore new opportunities and leverage DayStar's existing technology base into new markets."
Daniel Germain started Club des petits dejeuners du Quebec (Quebec Breakfast Club) in November 1994, with a grant from the Pratt & Whitney Canada Employee Charitable Fund, and built it into a charitable organisation which now serves more than 2.5 million breakfasts to Quebec schoolchildren annually. The Quebec Breakfast Club program was recognised by the United Nations World Food Programme. It is the model Breakfast Clubs of Canada promotes for other programs elsewhere in Canada. Using his proven Quebec model, Daniel founded Breakfast Clubs of Canada in 2005 in order to reach and help serve children breakfast all across Canada.
In recognition of his work in Quebec and across Canada, Daniel has most recently been appointed the Order of Canada, has received the Medal of the Quebec National Assembly, the Meritorious Service Decoration (civil division) from the Governor-General, and the Queen Elizabeth II Jubilee medal among others.
