Jeremiah Windego, Chief Executive Officer
Aanii Fort William First Nation Members,
My name is Jeremiah Windego, and I am honoured to introduce myself as the new Chief Executive Officer for Fort William First Nation, a role I began in October. I come from Nigigoonsiminikaaning First Nation, and I am truly grateful for the warm welcome I’ve already received from community members, staff, and leadership.
Throughout my career, I’ve been fortunate to work alongside many First Nation communities across the north. I began as a Band Manager in my home community at 23, where I served for six years. Before that, I worked as a Project Manager, helping to build a water treatment plant, a new subdivision, and many homes for our members. I have held most every job growing up, housing manager, OW worker, Director of Finance, and project manager for a large steel company in Kansas City. Most recently, I spent five years in economic development with Naicatchewenin First Nation, helping to grow their development corporation from near bankruptcy into the community’s largest employer. Later, I worked in the Kenora area as the Acting Executive Director for Anishinaabe Abinoojii Family Services, where I learned a great deal about prevention and protection programs.
I look forward to bringing my experience to Fort William First Nation and, more importantly, to learning from all of you—the members, staff, and leadership who make this community strong. My top priority as CEO will be to improve communication so that we can share the many good things already happening and ensure that your voices guide the work we do together.
Miigwetch,
Jeremiah Windego — Chief Executive Officer of Fort William First Nation
