Resignation of MCK Director of HR

10/13/2022

The Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke (MCK) would like to inform the community that, after 9 years as Director of the Human Resources (HR) Unit, Rosanne Norton has resigned from the position, effective Friday, November 25th, 2022.

Rosanne began her career at the Lands Department of the MCK in August of 2007, transferring to HR in 2008. Throughout her tenure, she held several positions within the Unit until assuming the role of Director in August of 2013.

During the Pandemic, Rosanne and her team worked diligently to ensure the day-to-day needs of the MCK, as well as assisting other local organizations with staffing to ensure essential services were maintained. As employees and services shifted to a remote-based work environment, Rosanne helped coordinate and ensure that employees were able to perform their duties under new and sometimes hazardous work conditions. Over the years, Rosanne assisted in the development and implementation of many human resource systems and processes, all which have contributed to improving internal functions of the MCK.

“While we are sorry to see Rosanne leave after 15 years with the MCK, we are grateful for the impact she has had on the HR Unit and the entire organization,” said Executive Director Onerahtókha Karlie Marquis. “We are thankful for her contributions and the dedication she has proven to the community. On behalf of the organization, we wish her the best in her new path forward.”

The position of Director of Human Resources will be posted in the near future. As Rosanne transitions out of the position, assistance and oversight will be provided by the Executive Administrative Officer who oversees the Human Resources Unit.
