Overview

• Within the past year he has focused his attention on three pillars:
  
  • Haiti
  • The Arts and
  • Children Overcoming Adversity.
  
  Witnessing the disaster affecting his native country, Armand raised more than $350,000 for relief and rebuilding efforts of Haiti. He continues to focus on fundraisers that not only help his native country financially but also educate people of the intrinsic beauty of the Haitian people and culture.
  
  In August 2011, he was honored and elected as the youngest person to ever serve on the Board of the Haiti Cultural Exchange, a nonprofit organization established to develop, present and promote the cultural expressions of the Haitian people. The organization seeks to raise awareness of social issues and foster cultural understanding and appreciation through programs in the arts, education and public affairs. In November 2011, with his fellow Board Members, he created the First Ever Haiti Film Festival that displayed movies from directors and producers from France, Montreal, Haiti and the US. In December 2011, he led a team to Haiti for 21 days in order to shoot the Haiti is ME campaign and to chronicle the economic and social progress deserving of media attention in Haiti.
  
  In September – October 2011, Fabrice Armand’s passion for the arts led him to produce, with Stuart Film, Michaela Productions, and Browntown Entertainment, the first Broadway play to highlight the similarities between the struggle of Henry Box Brown (a slave that mailed himself to freedom in 1848) and four Haitian men who tried to ship themselves to America. The play received many rave reviews and is currently being considered for several awards.
  
  Recognizing the need to give back through the support of organizations and causes that make a difference in the lives of others, at current, Fabrice Armand serves on the Executive Committee of The Global Syndicate, a nonprofit organization providing financial support to organizations focused on improving socio-economic, educational, and developmental challenges of impoverished communities around the world. Armand also is a member of the Board of Directors for Fund Art Now, a nonprofit organization that promotes global discourse on fundamental issues inherent to the human condition.
  
  Fabrice Armand also is a dynamic speaker. He has spoken at many functions ranging from leadership conferences, universities and black-tie events. One of his favorite topics is “Leadership in a Global Community: A Discourse on Challenging the Norms of the Past.”
