Member-Driven Action: Your Feedback is Needed!

Over the course of the last month, a segment of active CADA/West members gathered to review reports, surveys and summaries from member-input initiatives we've held over the last few years. We asked them to review these documents with our vision and mission in mind. The end goal of this initiative is to set a collective member-driven vision for CADA/West that defines who we are and what we focus on.

This document is a synthesis of these discussions. We now turn this document over to the entire membership for feedback. Is this what your CADA looks like? Is this what your CADA should look like? Email us your feedback before November 7.

After we have gathered feedback, the member-driven vision for CADA will be revised and unveiled at our upcoming Leadership workshops, as well as online for those outside of Vancouver. At these Leadership workshops, special guest speaker Jane Heyman will be present on her work as the co-founder of PAL Lodge in Vancouver. Jane is an incredible example of how a collective vision has power in numbers.

Please complete the doodle poll http://doodle.com/vxtdvrttk4dsa7gd to ensure your spot at one of two Leadership workshops. Refreshments will be provided.
