AFOA Canada To Host 1,000 Indigenous Business Leaders At Its 20th Anniversary National Conference In Saskatoon, SK.

October 7, 2019 (Ottawa) – Today AFOA Canada kicks off its 20TH Anniversary National Conference to discuss Community Administration – Managing Through Disruptions“. The TCU Place will be home to over 1,000 prominent Indigenous business and elected leaders from across Canada October 8-10, 2019.

At a community level, there are many disruptions that happen. This can be external pressures to a community organization such as floods and earthquakes. Other pressures can be how a community is addressing significant family and health issues. It can also be internal pressures to the organization such as cyber security breaches or changing workforce demographics such as the millennials in the workplace. As these disruptions occur, it raises many questions for managers and staff to ponder on how to effectively deal with them. These questions can point toward much needed changes in an organization’s strategy, risk management, financial or operations. It may also provide new insights that require leaders to ensure the community’s vision can still be achieved while managing through the disruptions. If you have to oversee or administer any type of disruption, this is a must attend conference for you.

“This AFOA National Conference highlights the importance of managing through disruptions within Indigenous Communities in Canada” says Terry Goodtrack, President and CEO of AFOA Canada. “The plenary discussions on Managing Through Disruptions and Balanced Approach between Growing Wealth and Per Capita Payments are topical to some of broader issues that Indigenous communities are facing today and in the future.”
