Register now to learn how to ensure your charity’s voice is heard
As the national umbrella organization for Canadian charities, Imagine Canada believes that public policy decision-making is better when charities are at the table.
We’ll be in Vancouver on Tuesday, February 17th to deliver a public policy workshop from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. at the Vancouver Public Library for local charity leaders and Board members. We will explain the why and how of charities’ participation in public policy and what you need to know about:
We think it’s important that your organization has a voice on issues of relevance to your cause and community.
The only ticket local charity leaders need to get in the door is a member of their Board of Directors. Our goal is to ensure that as many Board members and charity leaders as possible are empowered to support the charities with which they work to engage with confidence in public policy in 2015.
The presentation will feature three of our staff, Stephen Faul, VP Strategic Communications and Business Development, Michelle Gauthier, VP Public Policy and Community Engagement, and Bill Schaper, Director of Public Policy and Community Engagement.
Imagine Canada’s four Vancouver-based Board members, Derek Gent, Executive Director of the Vancity Community Foundation, Kevin McCort, President and CEO of the Vancouver Foundation, Margaret Mason, Partner at Bull Housser, and Peter Robinson, CEO of the David Suzuki Foundation, are co-hosting the event and will be on hand to share their public policy expertise.
Spaces are limited, so don’t delay, register your Board member and yourself today!
Imagine Canada’s public policy work brings charities together to speak with strong united voices; we educate charities to help them get involved in the decision-making process; and we develop original policy proposals and respond to those advanced by others. This public policy roadshow is made possible through the support of the Max Bell Foundation and the Ivey Foundation, as well as our local co-hosts. We also gratefully acknowledge the ongoing support of the Agora Foundation and the J.W. McConnell Family Foundation for our public policy work.
