Phil Usher
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
FIRST NATIONS FOUNDATION
FIRST NATIONS FOUNDATION
Taking a gamble to steady the ship as chief executive of First Nations Foundation, Phil Usher has turned it into a more secure, self sustaining entity, far better equipped to empower First Nations people to achieve financial prosperity. Andrew McKean writes.
If super funds actively educated their members in staying healthier and productive longer, those that benefited would also boost their financial situation and face a more attractive longevity with a likely shorter period of dependency. They might also appreciate their ability to engage more productively with their younger family members and support achieving their financial independenc earlier. And they might feel their super funds are someone with more than just their financial interests at heart. Win-win-win?.
