UCCMM Maamwi Naadamadaa (translated means "United Chiefs and Councils of Mnidoo Mnising Let Us Work Together")
UCCMM hosted a two day summit in May of 2009. There were over 150 participants from the six First Nations representing leadership, band operations staff, community members, youth, UCCMM and affiliate staff. The result of this Summit was the formation of an Executive Management group called Maamwi Naadamadaa.
The purpose of Maamwi Naadamadaa is to create a structure that connects senior managers, executive directors, CEO's Band Managers of UCCMM affiliate agencies and communities...creating a space where collaborative culturally rich program development is the measure of success! Specifically, the mandate of Maamwi Naadamadaa is to work together on community issues.
The CEO of UCCMM and and the Executive Directors of UCCMM affiliate agencies hold an open seat on the committee. Recently, the terms of reference was expanded to include the Band Managers from the UCCMM First Nations.
Maamwi Naadamadaa is guided by a Terms of Reference and Strategic Action Plans.
