Coming out of ONN's June 19th event, several people indicated interest in looking deeper at issues related to leadership and human resources. This constellation had its first exploratory meeting in October and the direction of this group is still under discussion. It may lead to two separate groups - one looking at issues like staff retention, pay equity, etc. and another looking at sector renewal and burnout from a more personal, individual perspective.
The Leadership Constellation includes:
Marguerite Pyron, Newcomer Women's Services
Colette Murphy, Metcalf Foundation
Doug Kerr, Sage
Jini Stolk, Creative Trust
Pat Thompson, Metcalf Foundation Fellow
Margaret Emin, Provincial Sport Organizations Council
