The Canadian Indigenous Advisory Council (CIAC) to AISES provides advice to AISES, its staff, board, committees and councils as requested. CIAC also represents the interests of Indigenous STEM professionals and students in Canada directly to the AISES board.
The CIAC consists of representatives from the Canadian Indigenous science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) community. The primary role of the CIAC is to advise AISES on issues of relevance and importance to its Canadian Indigenous (Status and Non-Status First Nations, Metis and Inuit) members. In addition, the CIAC also works to assist AISES in creating opportunities for Canadian Indigenous members and to support the AISES mission of substantially increasing the representation of Canadian Indigenous Peoples in engineering, science, and other related technology disciplines.
