"NACCA is the national body representing a network of over 50 Indigenous Financial Institutions (IFIs) dedicated to stimulating economic growth for all Indigenous people in Canada. The network has provided over 50,000 loans totaling $3.2 billion to businesses owned by First Nations, Métis, and Inuit people. Given our growth over the last 5 years, NACCA engaged Stephanie Blondin Consulting to develop a comprehensive government relations strategy to ensure our strategic priorities, as well as the IFI success story, are effectively communicated to government partners. This included an overall strategy, tactics, departments to be engaged, key messages, and a timetable for engagement. We are extremely happy with her work. Stephanie is a seasoned public policy specialist with years of experience in Indigenous economic development - I recommend her unreservedly."
