Green Wood Coalition
AGM Announced, Sept 25 @ 7pm
Location: Community Health Centres of Northumberland
Riding a sea of change, Green Wood Coalition will hold its Annual General Meeting (AGM) meeting on Wednesday, Sept. 25th, calling on members and its community of supporters to help chart its future.
This past spring, Green Wood Coalition began a process of organizational restructuring, overseen by an interim Board of Directors that was instated at a Special Members’ Meeting April 28. Its mandate has been a top-to-bottom review of Green Wood’s finances, governance and policies, including a community engagement process that surveyed people about Green Wood’s impact. The interim board is now ready to report back at the Annual General Meeting about what it learned and what the work ahead is.
Green Wood’s founding member and former executive director, David Sheffield, is moving on from the organization, stepping away as of September 6, 2024. The interim Board of Directors, staff and community are extremely appreciative of all that David has done to develop and grow Green Wood Coalition over the many years he dedicated himself to the organization.
