At-Large Review Implementation Plan Development

In June 2018, the Board approved the preparation of a staged implementation plan that was time-bounded and would require minimal budgetary and staff implications in order to be successfully implemented.

This initial At-Large Review Implementation Plan therefore consists of eight of the original sixteen issues (#1, #2, #3, #4, #7, #9, #13 and #16) identified by the independent reviewer. It was presented to the Board Organizational Effectiveness Committee (OEC) in December 2018 and was approved by the Board during their Meeting on 26 January 2019.

The following is the plan for the development of each issue, but also recognizing that a program of continuous improvement is a constant focus across At-Large.
