ABOUT ERIN LIGHT

Erin Light is passionate about belonging, social justice, reconciliation, and equity, and her career of varied experience in diverse leadership roles demonstrates her commitment to service and to community. She believes in progressive, trauma-informed, and relationship-driven leadership, supporting her teams with empathy, and aiming to always meet people where they are, holding space for them to thrive. A Cultural Anthropologist by training, she holds a master’s degree with a particular focus in Engaged Anthropology – making anthropological scholarship accessible for all to support social justice, with her research focused on the historical (and ongoing) erasure of Indigenous identity in Newfoundland. With varied experience in senior leadership roles, each in service of underrepresented and marginalized communities, Erin is Co-founder and Lead Consultant at Kindred Organizational Pathfinding, a collective of values-driven professionals that works with purpose-driven organizations to build organizational capacity. Erin approaches all her work from a strengths-based, trauma-informed, human-centred perspective, prioritizing the voices of the communities she serves, and setting aside the constraints of inauthentic professional relationships to build authentic, human connections based on honesty, vulnerability, trust, and shared reflection, learning, and meaning-making.
