Led the management and leadership teams to investigate, analyze and make recommendations with regard to implementation of recommendations. We were successful because we wrote and published the 6 volume Capacity Development Initiative (on NND website) which is a road map for FN self governance and ancillary documents, I wrote the $400,000 proposal to secure the funding for this three year project and oversaw the entire project, up to and including the publication of the study. I facilitated all of the leadership, management and staff meetings associated with the project and wrote up all of the reports, did all of the analysis and did the communication protocol. the final product was approved by Council motion and assembly (legislative body) where required. Subsequent invitations to conferences and other First Nations to discuss this initiative with them. I was also hired on for an additional year to oversee the implementation of the project as an independent contractor. I understand I was perceived as the visionary of how the government could become better organized and better meet the mandate identified by the people. the 5 years of this project was basically my brainchild......is that narcissistic enough? And I got leadership, management, staff, consultants and the assembly (the voting public) to go along with me. Then I replaced myself with a First Nation person as ED and mentored her for a while, still get called in now and then......
