Testimonials

Mark Sevestre, Secretary Treasurer and Chair of Economic Viability NATOA

"Every year, we get to catch up with colleagues in the field of Aboriginal Trusts.  We share experiences and best practices that help each of our own communities provide for our future generations and needs.  I always enjoy reconnecting with the friends I have met at the Aboriginal Trust and Investment Workshop over the past six years.  They are people you can call up and ask for help if you need anything.  This is truly the best part of this conference for me."

Alanna Jones, Trustee Garden River First Nation

"I value the learning and sharing from others.  Their experiences help in our daily lives as trustees, and trust managers to fulfill our roles and responsibilities effectively and efficiently.  Thanks to Rodgers Investment Consulting for bringing investment and other professional industries together with the grassroots Aboriginal people!"

Charles Wood Onichiskowapowin Business Trust.

"I have now attended several of these gathering on Aboriginal Trust Investments, my reasons for doing this is I can see the importance of the Indigenous Community doing what it can to help themselves by learning all they can on the techniques needed and used to build additional resources for their future and the future of their communities.  It is never too late to being this process."

I sit as the Elder for the Trust for our First Nation, which we started several years ago.  Our efforts have been concentrated on saving for our future generations.?

Hans Matthews, President, Canadian Aboriginal Minerals Association

"I particularly enjoyed the hands on approach with the investment exercises, as this made you aware of factors beyond your control and potential impacts on your investment strategy."
