Testimonial 1

Q: Why did you choose to register for the Trustee training program?

A:  We are in the business of managing investment portfolios for First Nations, and I wanted to take the initiative of increasing my knowledge about the Trusts so I could better serve our First Nation clients.

Q: What do/did you like best about your experience with the Trustee training program?

A:
  I enjoyed the ease of doing the program on-line, and yet we were able to engage with participants through on-line discussions.

Q: What do/did you think of the quality of education you received through the Trustee training program?

A:
  The quality was very well done ? written at a level that the average person should be able to understand.  While I am an expert with the investment side of the Trust, I also learned a lot about the operation of the Trust, and the structure.

Q: What do/did you think of the online delivery system used for the training program?

A:
It was a good system.

Other comments:
I am glad I did it, and encourage other professionals working with First Nation and Aboriginal communities to do the program to deepen their understanding of their needs.
