Can I make a presentation to the board?
Our Public Board Meeting provides a forum for members of the public to make presentations to our board of directors. All presentations must be arranged in advance. Please review the following guidelines prior to making an application.
Due to time, presentations are limited and carefully selected to ensure that:
- A cross-section of people have the opportunity to come forward.
- The board hears about key areas of the organization to help them better understand the activities taking place.
Persons or groups wishing to make a presentation to the board must submit their request in writing to the executive assistant to the board indicating the name of the presenter, the group/delegation they represent, the topic of the presentation and a summary of the presentation at least 14 days in advance of the meeting.
Guidelines
- Public meetings must be for the purpose of receiving community presentations concerning health status, health service and health needs of the population.
- Presentations must be for the information and consideration of the board. Presenters should not be anticipating approval for any item in their presentation.
- The written request should include the general nature and viewpoint of the presentation.
- Groups/organizations must identify one individual as a spokesperson.
- Presentations will be limited to 10 minutes.
