Ell joins Nunavut Economic Forum

The Nunavut Economic Forum has named Jerry Ell as its executive director.

Ell has previously served as president of the Baffin Regional Chambre of Commerce and the Nunavut Chambre of Commerce. He was also chair of the Amarok Hunters and Trappers Association and director of the NWT Development Corporation.

Ell will manage day-to-day affairs for the forum from an office in the Igluvut building in Iqaluit.

The NEF was formed in May of this year when representatives from nearly 40 groups — including Inuit organizations, chambres of commerce, the Nunavut Association of Municipalities, industry associations, labour, and government — met in Iqaluit during the annual trade show
