What does it mean to be on the Leadership Council of HCIA?
Since our inception in late 2004, HCIA has been a convener of community conversations. We provide citizens with information about emerging issues and opportunities and also support the start-up of collaborative projects that enhance community well-being. We function as a backbone organization, a community partner and a communicator.
That means our Leadership Council members should be leaders from the community who can:
- Act as Ambassadors for HCIA within the community
- Identify and engage citizens to join the organization
- Ensuring that all committees and projects are true to HCIA’s vision and mandate
- Monitor the work of the Working Groups
- Selecting and monitor consultants and other resources to support the work of HCIA
- Keep an eye out for new initiatives, partnerships and connections
- Approve an annual budget and oversee our financial management
We are happy to answer any questions – please get in touch with us!
