In my experience Kim Baird is a high energy and enthusiastic leader. She is very articulate and compassionate and wants to see Indigenous people succeed and move forward. Her many years of experience with her own community has established her well, and she has a natural rapport building gift with our Wet’suwet’en people, due to her experience and great personality. Her skills and abilities in working with government have assisted our nation in relationship building and nation building. I would certainly recommend Kim as an added team player to any organization.
