The purpose of this survey is to seek feedback from members as to how you want to have the Kwantlen Chief & Council table structured recognizing that every organization requires a large degree of accountability and transparency as part of its governance model to be strong and prosperous.
A governance model outlines how people in authoritative positions hold themselves accountable to their members and stakeholders. Governance models incorporate ethics, integrity, and a responsible code of conduct for all leaders, volunteers, and workers.
The survey is “live” (or open online) until midnight, March 26, 2021. Your responses will be kept confidential by the FDMS Team.
