After almost a decade, the Board of Directors announces today that our outstanding Managing Director, Isaac Thomas, will be leaving Native Earth (and Toronto) for a new challenge.
We will miss Isaac at Native Earth, and we thank him for creating solid footing for the next leader who will guide our company into a new decade of growth and artistic exploration.”
– Native Earth’s Board of Directors
“Native Earth is at an exciting moment of transition. We are uniquely poised for a well-deserved period of expansion and growth. Native Earth remains a critical voice in the country telling and developing Indigenous stories. Aki Studio is much in demand by IBPOC, indie, and youth-led organizations and collectives. And we are financially very stable. It is a time for new leadership to build on these strengths and carve the next chapter of this organization.
My time at Native Earth has been pivotal in shaping me and I remain committed to the ongoing welfare of this company. I will be available to staff and leadership through the first few months of the transition. I am deeply grateful to the board, staff, and artistic community who have guided my journey along the way.
My new appointment will be announced shortly, and I look forward to working with another great team and board.”
