As an Indigenous-Dutch professional with extensive experience in youth programming, financial analysis, and community development, he is deeply aligned with ENAGB’s mission of supporting Indigenous youth as they grow into empowered leaders within their communities.
Currently, he serves as a senior consultant at Mokwateh LLC, where he specializes in delivering projects that foster reconciliation and Indigenous engagement. Previously, as a Stakeholder Relations and Financial Analyst at Eeyou Consulting, he successfully managed the Cree Nation STEM Project, raising funds and creating opportunities for youth pursuing post-secondary education. These roles honed his ability to procure funding, manage budgets, develop strategic initiatives, and engage stakeholders to achieve impactful outcomes.
In addition to his professional background, he holds a Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Finance from the University of Guelph, where he graduated with distinction as an Honours and Dean’s List graduate. His academic and leadership achievements include winning the Ignite Indigenous Leadership & Community Involvement Scholarship and serving as an active member of organizations such as the Business Council and Consulting Association.
Izaak’s skills and experiences directly align with ENAGB’s focus areas, particularly youth programming, mental health and harm reduction initiatives, and fostering 2-Spirit and LGBTQ+ inclusivity. Moreover, his experience leading the Ouje-Bougoumou Music Camp demonstrates his ability to empower youth through culturally relevant programming and life skills development. We are confident that his expertise in project management, funding procurement, and policy analysis will contribute significantly to ENAGB’s strategic vision.

My name is Marley Bob a nēhiyaw iskwēw (Plains Cree Woman) and a Treaty Member of Ochapowace Nation, located in Saskatchewan. I am an Indigenous Designer, Architectural Technician, Business Owner, and most importantly, a Mother. During my pursuit of finding ways to connect with my Indigenous community, I was excited to find that ENAGB’s Youth and Board Members were accepting applications for a board member. I sensed this was the perfect community opportunity for myself as a way to give back to the Indigenous youth.
Being a reliable and responsible professional, I believe I bring a unique and community-driven experience to the ENAGB’s Youth and Board Members.
I am committed to applying my creativity, education, and Indigenous ways of knowing to all aspects of my life. I conduct myself with confident leadership and interpersonal skills. My abilities include: working within diverse workforce conditions; collaborating alongside a multitude of unique personalities; performing exceptional under stressful situations; and providing cultural and technical knowledge to help contribute to a professional environment, such as ENAGB.
In the past, I have operated in diverse working conditions within the architectural and construction sector, business sector, Indigenous policy sector, and the retail sector. It has been a huge part of my personal development within my academic, cultural, and professional career. My commitment to ENAGB is to apply my lived experience, culture, connections, and understanding as a nēhiyaw iskwēw (Plains Cree Woman) to the youth. My goal as an ENAGB Youth and Board Member is to introduce fresh perspectives and successful outcomes as an On-Reserve and Urban member. I wish to create powerful, lasting, and memorable by-laws, policies, and programs to ENAGB’s Youth Organization.
