Testimonials
The Politics of Ethical Decision Making for Elected Indigenous Leaders workshop is an absolute must, especially for elected council members who have never served on council previously.Diane McRae, CAFM

This was my third consecutive year taking a pre-conference workshop and I am very grateful to have the opportunity to learn not only from the instructor but from others across the country that attend these courses. The information is fantastic, clear and concise. There are always a lot of stories and laughter shared that take it from a traditional classroom learning level to a more comfortable approach that encourages you to share your situations and to feel free to ask questions. I am hoping for more modules in the HR courses I have been taking these last few years!Annie E. Johnson, BBA, BACS

Songhees Nation hosted an AFOA Capacity Development Workshop on Human Resource Management Essentials. We had fourteen participants representing our senior management team and representatives from our neighbouring First Nations. A two day workshop was well received. Participants commented that the information was relevant and valuable. We appreciated the First Nations context of the workshop material. The workshop was very interactive and dialogue was encouraged throughout. AFOA is providing high quality capacity development workshops that are making a difference in our communities.Christina Clarke

The Values and Ethics in the Indigenous Workplace workshop helps to ground a person and to look at what guides them through personally and professionally. We learn to appreciate our role models.Sharon Stevenson, BA, HBA, CAFM, CAPA
