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
A special thank you to those who have served on the Equity Team/Forum: We express our deepest gratitude for your invaluable contributions, unwavering dedication, and passionate efforts. Your commitment has helped shape a more inclusive, equitable space, and your work continues to inspire us all. Though you may no longer be active members, your legacy remains a vital part of our journey. Thank you for your leadership, insights, and the positive impact you’ve made. We look forward to building on the foundation you’ve helped establish and hope to carry your spirit of advocacy forward. Thank you.
