Empowering Indigenous Excellence in Edmonton

AKSIS is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors comprised of recognized leaders from the Urban Indigenous business & professional community. The Board convenes monthly and represents voting members (Indigenous businesses and professionals) and associate members (local business and government partners).

Our guiding principles serve as the foundation upon which we build each AKSIS initiative. We will continually work to deliver these standards to each of our members so that together we can better the Indigenous community as a whole.
