The Board of Directors of the Mushkegowuk Development Corporation (MDC) are pleased to announce that Terry Metatawabin has been appointed President of the board.
Terry joined MDC as one of the first permanent board members during its inception in August 2016 and has served as a board member since then.
"The Board of Directors are delighted to welcome Terry as the new leader of the regionally owned limited partnership; especially in this time of renewal as the pandemic’s end is near and demands strategic and results driven business approaches. Terry will guide the MDC to achieve the mission of advancing economic growth, diversify business operations and expand partnerships to create opportunities for the Omushkego people. “
"It is such a great honor to be elected president and chair for the MDC, a position with important accountabilities to the partners and subsequent benefactors. Having been a director since the MDC inception, my approach is to build upon and strengthen shareholder relations with the six partners and continue to create value, while ensuring good governance. With the pandemic impacts experienced by all businesses, we have to adapt and strengthen financial systems and policy actions to improve efficiencies, capital and investment opportunities,” said Terry.
Terry brings two decades of experience in project management, business and management consulting roles, along with membership experience on previous boards. Additionally, his grandfather Abraham Metatawabin’s teachings continue to influence his approach in business and life as he shared “Our way of life and values have provided us the knowledge and teachings needed to continue to understand how to navigate our ever-changing environments and apply effective solutions.”
