Our Board of Directors is accountable to the Chiefs of the First Nations within Tikinagan's service area. The Board reports to the annual Tikinagan Chiefs Assembly on our services, operations and finance. Our Board Chair is Harvey Kakegamic from Sandy Lake First Nation.

An Elders Council serves in an advisory capacity to the Chiefs, our Board of Directors, our Senior Management Team and staff. It is composed of four Elders appointed by the Board. The place of Elders within our agency reflects the respect we have for our traditions and culture. Our Elders Council acts as "Keeper of the Vision" and supports our staff and management in maintaining our vision, goals and principles.
