“I was introduced to Annie in 2015 as we were looking for some help and support respecting some relationships with Indigenous groups we had in place as well as to help us think about what we wanted to establish as our Indigenous Inclusion Strategy. Annie, through her expertise, creativity, passion and kindness, became much more than an advisor to the members of our team to the point where she is a trusted colleague, teammate, coach, driver of accountability and confidant. She very quickly educated herself about our organization, values, existing partnerships and desired outcomes and used this knowledge along with her experience and expertise to guide us in setting out our Indigenous inclusion strategy along with the work plans to support it while also utilizing her extensive network within Indigenous communities and the Indigenous advisor / professional community to help us forge a variety of connections that, we believe, will be long-lasting. Annie operates at an executive level of thinking while demonstrating care and kindness to every person she meets and connects with. Given the rapidly evolving and dynamic nature of Indigenous inclusion, Annie’s support and guidance along with her willingness to pull up her sleeves and do some of the dirty work of document drafting and follow-up phone calls has been (and continues to be) critical to our growth in this area as an organization.” Jeff Schellenberg, Former Co-CEO and CFO
