You are invited to submit a proposal to develop and implement a needs assessment to determine the training needs of board members of the 41 CBDCs.
Within the most recent strategic plan (2018-2023), Governance and Education has been deemed an area of emphasis. The strategic plan outlines that a professional, capable complement of volunteers is a key driver of CBDC success. The objectives of the strategic plan also reflect that the AACBDC will be recognized as a learning organization that assists its staff, provincial associations, and member CBDCs to achieve their education and training goals.
The purpose of developing this needs assessment is to ensure continuous skill development of CBDC board members as they grow and strengthen their respective Corporations. Training is the foundation for obtaining quality output from our volunteer boards and the findings of this will enhance our existing training programs.
