MCA ANNOUNCES RETIREMENT OF LONGTIME COMPTROLLER DENISE COLLINS

The Mohawk Council of Akwesasne is announcing the retirement of its longtime Finance Comptroller Denise Collins after more than 30 years of service to MCA and the Akwesasne community.

Her work will be appreciated for many years to come.”

Denise joined MCA permanently in 1988 as a head accountant, later named the Comptroller, overseeing the financial aspect of operations and projects for decades. She helped guide MCA through the rapid growth the organization has been experiencing since the 1980s, and she was a key player in the development of many MCA processes and policies.

Richard Fournier will serve as acting Comptroller until the position is posted and filled.
