Youth en Route’s Board of Directors updated and reviewed its operating and governance policies in January 2023. As a relatively new organization, these policies are important to ensure the organization is ready and capable of accepting larger and more complex grants and operating revenue. The organization is on the cusp of moving from a fully volunteer organization to one with paid staff and it is incumbent on the board to lay the proper foundation for effective governance. The purpose of this project is to perform an expert review of the organization’s existing policies and discuss and/or incorporate suggested improvements to prepare the organization for future growth.
The Canadian Animal Task Force (CATF) wishes to engage a strategic planner to provide a plan for the next 5 years that includes our new initiative of a low cost veterinary clinic for disadvantaged owners and their companion animals as well as animal welfare organizations. The CATF recognizes the need to plan how they can address the needs of disadvantaged owners and what resources are required to effectively deliver their existing programs with an emphasis on a significant new program. The CATF needs to go through the appropriate process so that the strategic plan pairs with their financial plan, reviewed by 2 chartered accountants.
