The Chief Administrative Officer
The senior manager of the Mohawk Council of Akwesasne is the Chief Administrative Officer. The mission of the CAO is to operate an efficient, community-oriented service organization within political guidance, cultural propriety, legal requirements, and contractual obligation.
The CAO serves our community in many ways; by supporting Council in their protection of community interest. The CAO routinely meets with Council, officials of other First Nations, officials of national & regional levels of Canadian government and with business affiliates of Council. This means that the CAO must remain vigilant for community or national trends that could impact on Council's work.
The CAO is the principal, non-political, manager for Council. She supervises Department Directors of Community & Social Services, Education, Economic Development, Environment, Health, Housing, Justice, Public Safety, and Technical Services. She meets with them individually regarding specific issues and collectively to plan, monitor, or evaluate MCA's management strategies.
The CAO works closely with the Director of Central Resource Services, who ensures that corporate administrative services meet the financial, human, operational and information support requirements of the direct community-service departments.
