<p>Northern Policy Institute is pleased to announce the addition
of two new directors to our team, John Beaucage and Diana Fuller
Henninger. These new directors add to an already diverse and
knowledgeable board, whose role is to set the strategic direction of
NPI.</p>
<p>“Northern Policy Institute is thrilled to have John Beaucage and
Diana Fuller Henninger join our Board of Directors,” stated NPI Chair
Thérèse Bergeron-Hopson. “Their unique experiences, vast knowledge, and
dedication to northern communities will be sure to energize our
organization.”</p><div class="gmail-g gmail-g-20"><div class="gmail-g-single gmail-a-512"><a href="https://rossromano.ca/" target="_blank"><img src="https://cdn.saultonline.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/Ross-Romano_695x86.jpg"></a></div></div>
<p>A citizen of Wasauksing First Nation, John Beaucage served as the
Grand Council Chief of the Anishinabek Nation between 2004 and 2008. An
economist by education, John has worked tirelessly on many issues,
including Indigenous child welfare and health, green energy projects
with First Nations, land disputes, language policy and housing, spending
over 15 years with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and
serving as the Co-chair for First Ministers’ Working Groups for both
Housing and Relationships.</p>
<p>Raised in Kingston, Diana Fuller Henninger moved to Sudbury in 1978
as a young lawyer and became Northern Ontario’s first female assistant
crown attorney, and later first female Regional Director of Crown
Attorneys. In 2009 she took over Henninger’s Diesel Ltd. For her
achievements, Henninger won the Influential Women entrepreneur of the
year award in 2015.</p>
<p>In addition to welcoming new directors, NPI would like to
congratulate Bergeron-Hopson in her new role as Chair and Harley
d’Entremont in his new role as Vice-Chair. “We celebrate their
commitment to Northern Ontario communities and thank them for their
vision and dedication to the work of Northern Policy Institute,” stated
NPI President & CEO Charles Cirtwill.</p>
<p>Northern Policy Institute is currently recruiting new Directors. If
you would like to volunteer for a position on NPI’s Board, please fill

Membership of the Board of Directors is for renewable three year terms.
Selection is made by the members of Northern Policy Institute on the
recommendation of the organization’s Directors. The Governance and
Nominating Committee review applicants annually and puts forward
recommendations to fill vacancies according to the limits and criteria
outlined in the Northern Policy Institute Bylaws.</p></div>
