In the past four years of planning the Gitxsan Chiefs are in a final process of establishing a Gitxsan Development Corporation (GDC) to act as an overall holding company for initiatives we are developing or contemplating in forestry, carbon credits, energy, transmission lines, and the fishery and so on. The opportunity is for all our companies (e.g. GFEI) to be independent subsidiaries thereby gathering all our assets to establish a huge “bankable” company – attracting investment and building infrastructure for job creation.
Thus the opportunity is here, today, for business managers in these various corporate structures. As well, there is ample opportunity for educated and business minded directors – credible and bankable folks to attract huge investment to the northwest – for job creation. These structures are the foundation for continued job creation and a better quality of life for Gitxsan and other people.
Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs approve structure for Gitxsan Development Corporation
Gitxsan Hereditary Chiefs have decided on a structure for the Gitxsan Development Corporation (GDC). At a meeting in Hazelton Wednesday January 19th, 2011, the Hereditary Chiefs approved a structure that would create a Gitxsan Trust and new, as yet unnamed, Gitxsan society to oversee the business of the GDC. The Hereditary Chiefs would appoint directors and trustees to the two new entities to ensure the direction is consistent with the wishes and needs of the Gitxsan people.
