About the FAO

The FAO Committee oversees and governs the administrative, operational, and financial affairs on behalf of the MCK. Among its many responsibilities, the Committee receives and approves donation requests, making decisions based on consultation and collaboration with proponents while respecting financial limitations. Donation approvals are based upon the MCK Donation Policy and Procedures, which generally has a maximum contribution of $500 (though exceptions can be made).

The FAO Committee is made up of three Ratitsénhaienhs and one MCK staff representative. The current committee is comprised of Ratitsénhaienhs Lindsay LeBorgne, Alan John Rice, and Tonya Perron. FAO meetings are attended by the Executive Director, Executive Financial Officer, Employee Representative Shotehra Rice, and a Public Relations designate who participate in discussions but have no vote. The FAO Committee is accountable directly to the Council of Chiefs.
