On May 3rd the Alliance launched a Listening Campaign, through which we aimed to hear and understand the concerns of as many Calgarians as possible. The information gathered through this campaign will inform the issues we bring forward to the Discernment Assembly this fall, where we will choose the which campaigns/issues the Alliance will focus on next.
On Monday March 11th, representatives from each of the Calgary Alliance for the Common Good's member institutions will be coming together to determine the fate of the CACG at this year's Delegate Assembly 2024.
In organizing, the Delegate Assembly is an event when the representative body of the Alliance's member institutions comes together to celebrate the work we have done, collectively establish our priorities, examine our campaigns, affirm the direction of our Strategy Team, make institutional commitments to action, and build relationships across the diversity of the Alliance.
This year's topics include: possibilities for an upcoming Listening Campaign, building Core Teams, restructuring and defining the roles and expectations of our different teams, Community Celebration & Fundraising Dinner and Dues!
Each institution is represented by 2 official voting Delegates, as chosen by their community to bring the voice of that institution. In addition to the institution's 2 chosen delegates , additional Leaders and Core Team members are always welcome to join the discussion. Register HERE
