CAUT GRIEVANCE HANDLING FORUM
BUILDING ASSOCIATION CAPACITY
Ottawa Marriott Hotel
Friday, December 8 and Saturday, December 9, 2023
9:00 AM – 5:00 PM (Eastern)
The theme of this year’s forum is Building Association Capacity. Through plenary sessions and group work, forum attendees will share experiences and develop new skills that will leave them better equipped to deal with handling grievances in-house, identifying policy grievances, juggling with competing member claims, managing grievances in a trauma-informed manner, and learning to use freedom of information laws to support grievance cases. The forum is intended for association grievance officers and leadership.
The agenda is available here.
