Re: Position: Executive Level Management – Progressive Organization.

To Whom It May Concern:

I wish to submit my resume for the position of Executive Level Management –

Progressive Organization. I am enclosing a copy of my resume, which details my

strengths and experience in areas of program design and budget analysis,

communications, interpersonal and team-building skills, community development,

legislation interpretation, administrative accountability, strategic planning, proposal

writing, policy development and decision-making skills. The skills gained through

supervision of staff, levels ranging from 5 – 50, will assist me in this position.

My experience working at the Pine Tree Native Centre of Brant, as the Aboriginal

Healing and Wellness Coordinator/Programs Director, and as the Acting CEO for the

Pine Tree Native Centre and Six Nations Community Development Trust, has placed me

in contact with a number of individuals who have accessed community-based programs

as well as sensitive managerial, financial and human resources situations. Coupled with

my experience sitting on the Six Nations Elected Band Council, where among my

portfolios were Health, Social Services, Recreation, Finance, Economic Development,

Justice Initiatives, Six Nations Election Code Development and Intergovernmental

Affairs and my communication capabilities will only assist me during my tenure within

this position. In addition, my consulting work with mental health, administration,

community development and governance/development of Boards of Directors in Toronto,

Hamilton, and Six Nations Reserve will be of great assistance. The experience I have

gained in developing policies and procedures while working for community base

businesses and organizations will only benefit everyone involved.

My leadership skills, communication techniques and extensive volunteerism with

a provincial sports association, have been instrumental in working within a community

setting, Long-Term Athlete Development Model development, Canada Games programs,

Olympic Selection Camps and North American Indigenous Games. This experience has

allowed me to expand consultation and group facilitation skills. The work I have done

with the Six Nations Community Development Trust Board through trust agreement

development, policies and procedural development, proposal development, criteria and

process review, project monitoring and evaluations, financial agreements/management,

creating marketing and media plans and investment management will assist me in

ensuring that my work and skills will be professional and effective as well as beneficial

and fair for all involved.

Please be advised that should an interview be necessary, I am willing to discuss

arrangements for this process.

Thank you for your time and consideration in thi s matter, and I look forward to

hearing from you soon.

In Friendship and Unity,

Edward Martin
