As we celebrate 20 years of New Relationship Trust, we’re reflecting on the leaders who helped shape NRT during its formative years.

Kathryn Teneese joined NRT’s Board of Directors in 2008, first serving as Vice-Chair before taking on the role of Chair. She continued to serve on the Board until 2013, providing leadership and guidance during an important period in NRT’s early development.

As Chair, Kathryn helped guide the organization as it grew, strengthened its relationships and continued building its role as an Indigenous-led organization supporting First Nations across British Columbia.

Her leadership, commitment and years of service helped shape NRT’s direction and contributed to the strong foundation we continue to build on today.

Thank you, Kathryn, for your leadership and lasting contribution to New Relationship Trust.
