Organizational Structure

Riki Merrick / Keith Cambell

• Have created the Strategic Plan - it is in the final stages, so time to re-organize the Committees whose goal it was to write the plan into Committees that can support the implementation of the individual components of the plan

• Depending on how we organize (are we a formal or informal organization - see next topic) we may need to consider the structure of the committees, representation and governance

• How we make the strategic plan real – which one on the private, which on the public side

NEXT STEP:

Create a confluence page for new committee structure

NOTE: The confluence pages do NOT require log-in and anyone can edit, but that also means the program cannot attribute statements made - so if you care to make sure folks know it is your contribution, include your name/initials with it!

Naming of SHIELD

Riki Merrick / Keith Cambell

• What do we want to be, when we grow up?

• Are we a collaborative or a partnership?

• “Co-Lab-orative” would be the fun name 😊

• How formal?

• Are there legal implications with each of these terms?

  • That needs to be determined

• We are a partnership and have formal documents – or it is an informal partnership without formal documentation?

• Do we enumerate the organizations involved?

• We have always been an open group – we don’t want to add processes to make joining harder, if not needed

• We should still write out how we want to organize ourselves

  • What does it mean to be a member – obligations and benefits

  • MDIC went through that process – Riki will reach out to get some more info on how they did it

  • Making sure we have process to get meaningful input and review

NEXT STEP:

Create a confluence page to collect info about partnership / collaborative difference and other hings we can learn from what other organizations have already done

NOTE: The confluence pages do NOT require log-in and anyone can edit, but that also means the program cannot attribute statements made - so if you care to make sure folks know it is your contribution, include your name/initials with it!
