2.  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…!

3. Introduction  Remember, we don’t want only ‘good’ TDs…  We want EXCELLENT TDs!

4. TdesM  Structuration  Roles and Responsibilities  Articulation  Tools  Finance  Communication  Events  Replacement of the TD Commissionaire

5. 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

6. Structure  We need a ‘charter’: To confirm who we are To confirm what we do To confirm where we go To confirm what we do not do  With a Mission and objectives, it will be easier to focus on ‘the right things’…! Mission and Objectives

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

8. 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…

9. Roles & responsabilities  To formalize our ‘job’, every of us should have a job description.  Deadline : 01-june-2014

10. Articulation Draft But close to reality…

11. 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 May July October December February

12. 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

13. 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.

14. 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 ?

15. 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…!)

16. Communication  I propose a new logo:  To put on all our documents

17. Events  CANFISTDWG should be present at: FIS Congress FIS Updates ACA – AGM PSO events

18. FIS Update  Where ? West:Calgary (ACA Offices) Yes sir!!! East:Lake Placid  Free for ALL ROCs !!!

19. 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…

20. Our big picture ?!?

21. SITREP 2013-2014  How are we doing in : TDs (active, retired, in process) Proposition for new aspirants Admin : ○ Invoicing of the clubs ○ TD Expenses report ○ Forms used (need improvement ?)

22. 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 ?

23. Replacement of the TD Commisionner  Some ideas: 3 years mandate; 3 mandates maximum Must be perfect in English, functionnal in French Must have been a FIS TD since 5 years minimum Must be endorsed by 5 other FIS TDs No strings attached to PSO, NSO, others Candidates must produce in writing: ○ Description of who she/he is ○ Her/his vision ○ How she/he will implement it

24. Replacement of the TD Commisionner  Some ideas: Voting by email 1 vote per active TD OR 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

25. 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 ? OR It’s ACA / CSA that decides…?!? The new TD Commissionner should ‘shadow’ Ted during his last year before retirement.

26. My last word… That’s it! For now…
