FamilyServiceCanada

In December 2009, the Board of Directors met to establish its strategic objectives and redefine its mandate and purpose—all with a view to revitalizing the Family Service Canada network. The agency’s mandate is “Fostering Excellence in Leadership” and its newly defined mission—Family Service Canada is a national organization that promotes learning and the exchange of expertise through the dynamic relationships of not-for-profit executive leaders in Canada. 

The following strategic objectives were identified:

Communication:  The organization will reach out to potential members through a newly designed website; and will regularly communicate with new and established members through regular email communication, the “At Work” communications website for members, and through in person interactions at the Executive Leadership Summit.

Learning Opportunities: The organization will continue to use the Executive Leadership Summit as its main forum for connecting with the membership. Technology (such as webinars) will be utilized to provide learning opportunities throughout the year.

Membership: The organization will establish and begin implementing a plan to increase the membership base.

Governance/Management Structure: The organization will undergo a review and revision of its bylaws and policies to ensure these align with the organization’s new mandate and mission.

Financial Health: The organization will look to increase financial health through cost containment, membership fees, and exploring new revenue generating and granting opportunities.
