Mentorship Network for Elected Leaders
Elected leaders (Chief, Councillor) in a First Nation have the challenging role of providing direction and vision for their community, all while navigating the challenges of the administration and of community members.
FNPSS recognizes the importance of supporting those working as elected leaders by providing learning, training and networking opportunities, as well as one-on-one coaching support by First Nation mentors and hosting regular coaching circles to connect as a group. FNPSS also recognizes that a positive working relationship between leadership and administration is key to successful governance.
If you are interested in becoming an elected leader mentor or mentee or have questions about the Mentorship Network, please contact mentorship@fnps.ca.
