Governance

The Gwaii Trust Society oversees the Gwaii Trust Fund, the Athlii Gwaii Legacy Trust, and the Haida Gwaii Community Foundation. Although each fund has distinct goals, their visions, missions, and operations are closely interconnected.

How We All Work Together

The Board of Directors operates using consensus-based decision making, which emphasizes building agreement among all members rather than relying on majority votes. The goal is to reach outcomes that everyone can support—or at least accept—ensuring that every perspective is heard and respected.
