We are excited to announce Kat Stocker as the new Executive Director at the Gwaii Trust Society! Kat will be joining us in early February 2025, and we are delighted to welcome her to the team.
Born and raised in Haida Gwaii, Kat has lived in Daajing Giids, Port Clements, Old Massett, and Massett (with hopes of reclaiming the “T” one day). After leaving Old Massett, Kat pursued higher education at Camosun College, followed by the Western Pacific Academy of Photography, and later the UVic School of Public Administration.
Kat’s career has seen her take on Executive Director roles at Northern Health Authority, the Saanich Native Support Program, and most recently, NIL TU,O Child and Family Services Society, where she served for 15 years. Kat holds teamwork and communication in high regard, always following a strategic plan and working closely with the community.
In Kat’s personal time, she cherishes walking along the beaches, listening to the waves crash on the shore, attending potlatches and pole raisings, and spending time with friends and family.
Welcome Kat! We are thrilled to have you on board!
