Here are some ideas to be better as an organization.

Those ideas are… ideas and some of them are not complete.

But I think it’s a good start for the beginning of a ‘reflection’…

Comments are not welcome; they are mandatory…!

Introduction

Remember, we don’t want only ‘good’ TDs…

We want EXCELLENT TDs!

TdesM

Structuration Roles and Responsibilities Articulation Tools Finance Communication Events Replacement of the TD Commissionaire

Structure

We do things like ‘managing’ the FIS TDs in Canada’…

Most of the times, we do it the proper way…

We just need to formalize it…

To do it even better

Structure

We need a ‘charter’:To confirm who we areTo confirm what we doTo confirm where we goTo confirm what we do not do

With a Mission and objectives, it will be easier to focus on ‘the right things’…!

Mission and

Objectives

Structure

And our mission should include ‘to train and produce the BEST TDs in the world’.

Structure

We should have a different identity than our colleagues in the USA

But we will continue to work closely together…

But we have a different reality…

Roles & responsabilities

To formalize our ‘job’, every of us should have a job description.

Deadline : 01-june-2014

Draft

But close to reality…

Conference Call

To work on the right things To have a follow-up on the things that

we do With an formal agenda ±5 x / year

MayJulyOctoberDecemberFebruary

AGM

Would be held at the FIS Update

An annual report should be produced after the AGM

The report should be presented to ACA and FIS

Strategic Plan

Strategic Plan on a 3 years basis

Every year, we should focus on a specific theme (according to the Stategic Plan)

That theme should be the main line at the FIS TD Updates.

Financial Aspects

Budget : Yes we NEED a budget Financial Statements ?

No sure about those but could help for sure

We need money, but how much ?Our budget will tell us…Then, let’s fetch subventions:

○ FIS○ ACA○ Others

Why don’t we hire a

subvention / bounty hunter ?

Communications

I want OUR web site! Something clean, functionnal and

used by our members

Try this:http://

pages.videotron.com/canfistd/Just a draft of what can be easily

done (a draft I said…!)

Communication

I propose a new logo:

To put on all our documents

Events

CANFISTDWG should be present at: FIS CongressFIS UpdatesACA – AGMPSO events

FIS Update

Where ?West: Calgary (ACA Offices)

Yes sir!!!East: Lake Placid

Free for ALL ROCs !!!

Misc

In order to be transparent, I think we should document the rules of assigment to events.

But we don’t have any…

So let’s draft something…

Our big picture ?!?

SITREP 2013-2014

How are we doing in :TDs (active, retired, in process)

Proposition for new aspirantsAdmin :

○Invoicing of the clubs○TD Expenses report○Forms used (need improvement ?)

Replacement of the TD Commisionner

Some day, we’ll have a new TD Commissionner…

Do we want to have a :Elected TD Commisionner ?Designated TD Commisionner ?

Can we ?

Replacement of the TD Commisionner

Some ideas:3 years mandate; 3 mandates maximumMust be perfect in English, functionnal in FrenchMust have been a FIS TD since 5 years minimumMust be endorsed by 5 other FIS TDsNo strings attached to PSO, NSO, othersCandidates must produce in writing:

○ Description of who she/he is○ Her/his vision○ How she/he will implement it

Replacement of the TD Commisionner

Some ideas:Voting by email1 vote per active TDOR 1 vote per active year of TD ?!?OR 1 vote per every 5 years of TD ?!?Plan:

○ 10 days to receive the candidacies○ 10 days to vote○ 5 days to produce the results

Replacement of the TD Commisionner

Some ideas:Why do we have to alternate between east and

west for the commissionner ?Can we ‘elect’ a new commissionner ?

ORIt’s ACA / CSA that decides…?!?

The new TD Commissionner should ‘shadow’ Ted during his last year before retirement.

My last word…

That’s it!

For now…
