President's Message

March 2025:

I would like to take this opportunity to let the Kitikmeot Inuit Association (KIA) community know that I will be taking a personal leave of absence until late June. From the beginning of March until late June, James Eetoolook, currently serving as the KIA Vice -President, Wildlife and Environment will now also assume the role of Acting President of the KIA.

James is more than qualified for the role of Acting President. James is serving his first term as a KIA Vice-President, however his 29 years of previous service as Vice-President of the Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI) make him the ideal person to serve the KIA and the Kitikmeot during my temporary absence. James was the first and only Vice-President of NTI until last term when he did not seek re-election and brought his experience, expertise and invaluable knowledge to the KIA.

I know James, the KIA Board of Directors and staff will continue to represent and serve the Kitikmeot while I am away with the same dedication and passion that they always do and will.

In the short-term, if you need to speak to James directly, you can reach him via email at bgreenely@kitia.ca.

I look forward to warmer weather and my return in late June.

Robert Greenley

President, Kitikmeot Inuit Association
