March 21, 2013 · 0 Comments
• 2013 budget approved by board: The Board of Directors unanimously approved a 2013 NVCA budget of $3,884,569. The budget is comprised of a non-matching levy (no provincial grant provided) of $1,774,275 and a matching levy (matching provincial grant provided) of $183,960. The increase over 2012 is 3.5%, which is equal to the combined rates of population growth and inflation, and the budget also calls for the use of $285,000 from reserves. Staff will report budget activity to the board on a monthly basis, with quarterly budget update reports.
• NVCA 2013–2017 Strategic Plan draft to be reviewed by stakeholders: The board received a draft of the NVCA’s five-year strategic plan, which was developed based on input from NVCA staff and board members as well as a staff/board Strategic Plan Steering Committee, with the support of consultants Karen Wianecki of Planning Solutions Inc. and Janice Dusek of JD Associates. The next step is for the committee to organize stakeholder workshops to gather input on the draft plan from key partners in the community, local government, the business sector and other groups directly affected by the strategic direction of the NVCA.
• NVCA to launch Facebook and Twitter accounts: The board approved a draft Social Media Strategy and authorized the creation of NVCA Facebook and Twitter accounts.
