He continued and informed the community members that the three-year Community Investment Development Plan (CIDP 2016-2018) of the Trust had just ended. That this presented an opportunity to review past performance and for consultation before developing the new CIDP for 20192021.
The out-going Trust Chairperson, Mr. Max Johnson spearheaded the town hall meetings. “CIDP development is a rigorous process used to understand and prioritize community needs and relevant support based on things that matter the most through a process of engagement and regular consultations with various stakeholders. This is the reason we invited you to participate in the planning sessions scheduled over the next three days”, said Mr. Johnson.
Ultimately this process ensures that the Trust allocates adequate resources to support the strategic development intent, based on changing community needs and to offer sufficient operational support for the Trust in order to carry out its mandate for the next three years.
