Equity Forum

At our 2024 Spring General Meeting, it was recommended by our Governance Review Task Group that the Equity Team become a Forum who is accountable to the Council of Elders. This was accepted by the Regional Council. What does this mean? It means that the Equity Forum is now a body appointed by the Regional Council to assist in the work of the Regional Council. A Forum is created to provide guidance and service to a Leadership Team in the completion of a specific mandate and a Forum and its members are accountable to its designated Leadership Team and the Regional Council. It also means that those interested in being on a Forum do not have to go through the Nominations process. Members of the Forum are recruited by the respective Leadership Team and selected for the expertise, knowledge and skill required to perform the assigned task. Membership of a Forum is approved by the Regional Council or the Council of Elders. If you feel that you are being called to be a member of the Equity Forum, please email ecorcequity11@gmail.com

Equity Scorecards

We have created three Equity Scorecards: Equity Support Person’s “VIRTUAL” Scorecard, Equity Support Person’s “IN-PERSON” Scorecard and Attendee “PERSONAL” Equity Scorecard. We ask those who are acting as Equity Support Person(s) to fill out these scorecards after each meeting. For those who are attending a meeting, you are welcome to fill out a scorecard as well. These are fillable forms and submitted immediately. They will then be shared and discussed with the Equity Forum and will help us identify where we may not necessarily be aware of any actions or observations that come under the equity banner.
