A Mid-Way Meeting Update from our NJRs!

The NJRs had a very productive Mid Winter Meeting (MWM) with the adult executive last weekend in Toronto. We talked a lot about a strategic working plan that we will continue to look back to during the year to make sure CISV Canada is achieving our goals efficiently. As NJRs, we learned a lot about some of the things that are taking place at the adult level, which was pretty interesting. We also worked with Marlien, the Risk Manager on our social media guidelines, and talked about the Junior Risk Management Handbook we’re currently working on with Tessa, the National Junior Risk Manager. We spent a lot of time with Liz, the National Treasurer figuring out our finances, and preparing them for the annual audit that CISV Canada goes through. After MWM ended, we went with Liz to the bank where all the JB finances are located and met our banker, which Amy in particular was very excited about! Mary, our National Secretary held a fantastic social night at her house on the Saturday night where some JBers from Toronto came, as well as the National Leadership Training Committee who was having a meeting in Toronto as well, so it was definitely a fun filled night for everyone. All in all, MWM was an exhausting weekend, where we learned a lot and got some stuff done for JB Canada too!
