First Nations leaders connect with executives in SFU-partnered program
More on the story at ...
SFU launched Canada’s first program to place senior executive officers at meetings on aboriginal reserves and get First Nations chiefs into executive suites. The Leadership Exchange program, created in partnership with the Industry Council for Aboriginal Business, pairs aboriginal and non-aboriginal business leaders, so they can experience each other’s work and cultural environments and develop deeper business relationships. The first participants were Ian Anderson, president of Kinder Morgan Canada, Chief Kim Baird of the Tsawassen First Nation, Chief Willie Charlie of the Chehalis First Nation, Donald MacInnes, vice-chairman and CEO, Plutonic Power Corporation, Harold Aljam, chief of the Coldwater Indian Band and Graeme Barrit, president, Coast Hotels and Resorts.
