Public Engagement

The YRNA board continues to work towards best practices in the world of board governance. In previous annual reports and updates, we have spoken about ever increasing demands of organizations and boards such as ours. These include much higher levels of accountability and transparency for the public and government from which we derive our authority.

We have posted some key background materials on modern concepts of Good Governance and Right Touch Regulation elsewhere on this site at the following link: Good Governance + Responsible Regulation.  We recommend that you look over the materials to get a good sense of what is driving change. We recognize that time can be limited, so recommend you read over the webpage and at least skim over the last two links on the page to (1) the Standards of Good Regulation and (2) the first half of the Cayton Governance Report for the Law Society of British Columbia.  The Cayton report provides a good overview of what is expected these days of organizations such as the YRNA.  

As part of our commitment to the principles of good governance and responsible regulation YRNA will engage with the public, the profession and with stakeholders when developing or revising important documents, whether those be bylaws, standards, guidelines or policy.  This page is the landing page for such engagement.  Materials will be posted here from time to time when a document is up for public review and feedback.  Feel free to check back on this page.
