Annie Steen appointed new IDC Chairperson

At the August meeting the IRC Board appointed Annie Steen as the IDC Chair for a three-year period, ending August 2028. The appointment came at the expiration of the term of the previous chair, Robert McLeod. Robert served the IDC Board from 2020, and as chair from 2021 through 2025. IRC wants to thank Robert for his many accomplishments as IDC Chair, including paying off IDC’s debt, building a strong team, and securing the funds to position IDC for solid growth in the coming years.

Annie has also served as director since 2020 and will use her deep understanding of IDC’s operations to continue IDC’s growth in a stable and sustainable manner. Originally from Tuktoyaktuk Annie has spent most of her life working with ISR businesses, including NTCL, GNWT, and most recently delivering the Saliqmiut centre in Tuktoyaktuk. IRC looks forward to working with Annie and her unwavering commitment to the advancement of Inuvialuit economic and social priorities.
