There are five pre-conference workshops. Please refer to the description of each below. Performance Measurement and Reporting in First Nations This workshop is the first to be offered in Canada that tackles the issue of performance reporting in First Nations. The focus is on reporting on performance to community members. The workshop explores core principles of performance reporting in First Nation environments and draws the link to financial reporting. Participants will be introduced to the Aboriginal Performance Wheel. Issues examined include: the appropriate level and frequency of reporting; identifying the important aspects of performance; identifying the kinds of information to be reported; and, preparing reports on goals. An Introduction to Comprehensive Community Planning in First Nations Many communities throughout the country are undertaking Comprehensive Community Planning (CCP) in an effort to improve their economic base while asserting their independence and ownership of community resources. Using best practices and case studies this workshop focuses on: history and evolution of CCP; exploring indigenous principles; and current models and insights from First Nations who have completed CCP. Values and Ethics in the Aboriginal Workplace This workshop will provide participants with a broad understanding of creating and maintaining good values and ethics within the Aboriginal workplace. The workshop will examine business ethics and how they relate to Aboriginal traditions. Participants will learn the fundamentals of human resource management and how to develop a code of ethics for your organization. We also explore how the issue of ethics impacts governance and accountability as well as all aspects of community and economic development activities. Strategic Planning for First Nations Strategic Planning in First Nation communities is an essential component of community development. A strategic plan is a road map to lead a community from where it is now to where it would like to be in five or ten years. Learn how to engage the right people within the community and understand the resources required to make your strategic plan a reality. Learn what the key components of a successful strategic plan are and how to measure progress on your community's strategic plan. An Introduction to Community Economic Development Increasingly, economic development is being recognized as a way for Aboriginal governments and communities to increase their wealth, citizen employment, and community pride, and to build the influence and financial resources needed for other important goals. Economic development can be approached in many different ways and it can all seem overwhelming. This workshop provides you with an understanding of what economic development is and encourages discussion about best practices and lessons learned, and provides the basic tools needed to begin your own successful strategic economic development planning process.
