Other reflexions
In 2021, in the form of reflections on the key issues facing our union, I developed a first Recovery Plan. It is unfortunate to note that after 3 years very little has changed within the Institute.
Here are updates of some of the elements that are still relevant.
Our organization has been in existence for over 101 years. Initially, our governing structure was a small group of leaders in the 1920s, which later evolved into a Board of Directors (BoD) comprising over 22 members. Today, we have a streamlined 15-member board consisting of a president, four vice-presidents, nine regional directors representing our six regions, and the president of the Advisory Council.
This essay explores certain situations within our union and suggests potential solutions. It is written as part of my reflection on our operating modes, considering the possibility of upcoming elections and my strong likelihood of being elected as President of the Institute.
