She will be succeeding Wendy Paradis, who, earlier this year, shared her plans to retire after nine years at the helm of the national travel agency association.

As reported, Acton-Gervais most recently served as vice president, stakeholder relations and regulatory affairs at the National Airlines Council of Canada (NACC).

Previously, she held roles at the International Air Transport Association (IATA), the Airports Council International (ACI World), Transport Canada and Air Canada.

“I am honoured and excited to take on the role as president of ACTA,” said Acton-Gervais in a statement. “This opportunity to represent and serve the members of ACTA aligns with both my professional experience and my deep commitment to Canada’s travel and tourism sector. ACTA plays a vital role in supporting travel agencies and advisors across the country, and I’m inspired by the opportunity to help guide the association into its next chapter and leading ACTA forward with the continued support of its dedicated and professional team."
