Building a better Sierra Leone Community in Edmonton through long term thinking and planning…
On Saturday, August 12, 2023, The Sierra Leone Association of Alberta held its 2023 Board Orientation Workshop at the association’s community multipurpose centre on 17218 107 Ave. NW, Edmonton. The workshop is a part of an SBCCI funded capacity building grant project.
The workshop covered best practice in Board governance. A couple of Past Community Presidents shared their experiences with current Board members.
Points covered include what worked well for them during their term of office as presidents, their challenges and how they addressed them, and what they would do differently if they have to serve again. Similarly, current Board members shared their experiences garnered so far with members who are new to the Board.
Meanwhile, the second in this series of five capacity building workshops organized by the SLAA Executive took place on Saturday, August 26, at the Mezannine Floor of the SLAA Community Multi-purpose Centre.
This session was for the SLAA Strategic Planning (Part 1). Participants were drawn from the Executive Committee and Heads of Community Sub-groups.
