Kendra Gage, Secretary-Treasurer

Kendra is the Executive Director of Hulitan Family and Community Services Society. She has worked in the field of social services since 1996 in both Aboriginal and Non- Aboriginal not-for-profit organizations.  Her career began in Alberta, working with under- privileged children and sexually exploited youth. In 2000, she moved to Victoria to continue her work with high-risk youth and their families.  In 2003, she was hired by Hulitan as the program supervisor where she continued to be promoted and was appointed as the Executive Director in 2010.  Kendra is passionate about high standards of practice, CARF accreditation, accountability, youth issues, and most importantly, making sure the voice of the Aboriginal community is heard within the social services sector.  She believes there is a need for an Aboriginal perspective on The Federation Board which is why she put her name forward.
