New Councillor Training

Our members have asked Naut'sa mawt to offer governance training to new Chiefs and Councillors for several years, so we are coordinating with the National Centre for First Nations Governance to provide a one-day workshop on the Essentials for Effective Leadership that will explain the key roles and responsibilities that Councillors have to their communities, the Council and outside organizations. It will also explore considerations for traditional governance and opportunities to develop approaches to governing according to the needs of your community. While the information will be essential for new Councillors, all members of Chief and Council for all member Nations are welcome to attend. The workshop will take place on January 23, 2012 at the Beach Club Resort in Parksville, starting at 8:30 am. Rooms are available for the night of the 22nd for those who register before January 18. Prior registration is mandatory so that we know how many will attend and can arrange lunch and rooms.
