At the meeting of NAFSA: Association of International Educators, held in Vancouver, Canada, May 29–June 3, 2011, Jean F. Gounard, director of International Student Affairs, chaired the annual business meeting of the NAFSA Francophone World Special Interest Group, where subsequently he was reelected chair of the group. During that meeting, official representatives from various parts of the Francophone world spoke on the status of the French language today. In addition, Gounard presented a poster session titled “Francophone West Africa: Reform in Higher Education.” The meeting also marked the 10th anniversary of the signature of the Memorandum of Friendship between NAFSA and l'Agence Universitaire de la Francophonie initiated by Gounard in 2001, since he was already chair of the NAFSA Francophone World Special Interest Group.
