CNAR is very pleased to announce two workshops focusing on Governance in Regulation, which will take place virtually on February 15th and March 1st, 2023. Featuring a compelling combination of both expert consultants and Canadian regulators, both presentations will also include interactive elements such as group work breakout sessions and Q&As. Capacity is limited - be sure to save your seat!
February 15th 11 am – 2:30 pm ET - Workshop #1: Governance Modernization Featuring Renowned Regulatory Advisor, Harry Cayton
Many regulatory bodies across Canada are engaging in governance reviews and undergoing or contemplating substantive changes in how they govern. What does it really mean to govern? What is the lived experience of making these changes?
In a thought-provoking session, Making Governance Matter, Harry Cayton will engage attendees, encouraging them to take a close look at what governance really means for professional regulatory bodies in the public interest. In this session, you will learn about good governance:
As an input not an outcome.
As about behaviours not on rules.
In terms of measuring performance and the impact of effective regulatory governance on the public interest.
In addition to a presentation, there will be breakout group discussions and the opportunity to engage with Harry directly in a live Question & Answer session.
The session will be followed by a presentation, Regulatory Governance Modernization: Insights from BCCNM’s Experience, by Louise Aerts, Chief Officer, Strategy, Governance and Reconciliation, from the British Columbia College of Nurses and Midwives (BCCNM). BCCNM was established in 2020 after two rounds of amalgamation. Among its changes, BCCNM down-sized the board, moved to equal representation of registrants and the public, implemented a competency-based nomination process, and is embedding cultural safety and humility in all facets of its work. In this presentation, you will learn insights and tips about:
What to consider when making similar governance modernization changes. What worked and what didn’t and what still needs to happen? How did registrants feel?
How governance practices, decision-making, and priority-setting have shifted to support a more strategic board and committees.
Opportunities for regulating in the public interest when regulators can collaborate on common strategic initiatives.
The intersection of governance modernization with business transformation.
How to create pathways for Indigenous ways of knowing and being in regulation.
Audience: Management and staff, as well as board members - particularly those who are reviewing their governance practices or contemplating or undergoing governance modernization.
