History of the Fund

Lena spent many years in administration in the N.W.T. as an Executive Assistant, a co-worker, a mentor and a leader. Always a willing colleague, Lena supported new administrators in their jobs, fostered relationships and championed their future goals with them as they reached for the stars. Lena was a lady of class. From smart blazers to fashionable jewelry, she had tremendous fashion sense and carried herself with sophistication and grace. She enjoyed wearing exquisite, unique broaches and watches that held special meaning to her. With her sparkling smile, contagious laugh, wit and charm she embodied professionalism, efficiency and integrity mixed with a generous helping of warmth.
