 MGen Langton presents the President’s Award of Exceptional Merit to Jean-Marie Perusse for his outstanding commitment and dedication to the staff and customers of the Canadian Forces Exchange System, and NATO Exchange System. |
Jean-Marie Perusse retired on Jan. 28, 2005, following 40 years of service with the CF and NPP.
His career began with 30 years in the CF as a Finance Officer and Base Exchange Officer in both Canada and Europe. In 1993, he retired from the military and worked as Vice-President NATEX in Geilenkirchen, Germany for five years. This was followed by five years as Vice-President of Merchandise and Services.
J.M., as he liked to be called, became President CANEX/NATEX in September 2002. Friends and colleagues wish him the best in his retirement. “CANEX staff from across Canada and Europe appreciate the team spirit Jean-Marie encouraged within our workforce. His belief that our ‘staff make us who we are’ earned him the utmost admiration,” says Mac McMillan, VP CANEX Operations. “We trust that J.M. will have the same success in retirement as he did in his professional career.”
