Treaty Society Structure
Structure rooted in representation and service
The Maa-nulth Treaty Society reflects the strength and independence of its five member Nations. With equal representation on our Board and a shared commitment to collaboration, we support treaty implementation through service, accountability, and government-to-government relationships.
Board of Directors
The Maa-nulth Treaty Society is governed by a Board of Directors composed of a representative appointed by each of the five member Nations.
This structure is designed for representation of each member Nation to facilitate collective decision-making on common interests.
