Governance
The foundation of becoming a Treaty Nation rests on a competent, professional bureaucracy and administration. We will start by creating a new organization chart, building the capacity of existing staff, and making careful decisions on when to engage consultants for one-time tasks and when to hire and train new staff.
Below, learn more about key Implementation questions and deliverables with respect to Governance and engagement opportunities for Kitselas Citizens.
Key Implementation Questions
- What specific skills are currently missing within the administration?
- How can training opportunities be offered to community members?
- What communication channels will be most effective for Member understanding and engagement?
- How can existing office space be optimized and future space needs be clarified (need vs. want)?
Key Implementation Deliverables
- Creating a new Treaty staff organizational chart.
- Building capacity of existing staff and developing training opportunities.
- Hiring of Kitselas Members, where possible, and increasing Kitselas Members in senior management roles.
