The Qamɛs ʔəms tala Settlement Trust invites proposals from qualified consultants to support the development, review, and updating of internal policies and governance frameworks.
The Trust seeks to strengthen its internal governance, operational clarity, and long-term stewardship practices through the creation of clear, effective, and culturally grounded policies. These policies will support Trustees in fulfilling their fiduciary responsibilities and ensure transparency, accountability, and alignment with the Trust’s purpose: safeguarding settlement funds for current and future generations.
The selected consultant will work collaboratively with the Board of Trustees to develop practical, implementable policies and governance tools.
Background
The Qamɛs ʔəms tala Settlement Trust was established to safeguard settlement funds for the benefit of Tla’amin Nation citizens, ensuring that financial resources are responsibly managed and preserved over the long term.
The Trust operates under established legal and fiduciary obligations and is governed by a Board of Trustees responsible for overseeing investments, distributions, and governance.
As the Trust continues to evolve, there is a need to review and strengthen internal policies to ensure they reflect best practices in trust governance, financial stewardship, transparency, and operational effectiveness.
