Briarpatch’s Annual General Meeting
Do you love Briarpatch? Interested in peeking behind the scenes of our fiercely independent magazine? Interested in joining our fabulous Board of Directors as we embark on the implementation of our strategic plan?
Keep on reading!
In October of 2023, Ivy & Dean Consulting ran sessions with key Briarpatch folks both past and present. From these consultations, and further work with the current Briarpatch Board of Directors, 4 key priority areas for the magazine to turn its attention to were identified:
- Working Conditions
- Board Engagement
- Financial Sustainability
- Provincial (Saskatchewan) / National Balance
It is in the spirit of the achievement of these important goals that you’ll be hearing a lot from us over the next few years. It’s a big undertaking and we’ll be looking to you all for your support and patience.
To learn more about our plan and what this will mean for the future of the magazine, come to our AGM on November 20, 2024!
If you in particular have an interest or expertise in strategic plans in non-profit or publication spheres, love project management and that serotonin boost you get when you cross something off your list, come join our Board! We are looking to fill three positions to help us with implementing this strategic plan and enable our plucky little magazine to continue delivering trustworthy grassroots reporting and analysis, while ensuring our work and workplace reflects the values we champion.
