Management Team
The Management Group and the Local Community Networks (LCN) make up a parallel and complimentary process and are the strategic management component of the MFNL.
Drawing from national, provincial and community Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) and economic development priorities, the Management Group and LCNs adopt this Strategic Plan for the entire MFNL program. The LCNs will input specific community development needs and be seamlessly integrated with the Management Group’s overall program delivery.
The Management Group will include the general membership of the MFNL organization. Each Board member will have an alternate representative at the Management Group level. As a parallel process, individual LCNs will be encouraged to have their own LCN Management Group consisting of community members from specific community networks.
The role of the MFNL Management Group and the LCNs will focus more on SFM and economic development strategic issues, and will provide guidance to both the General Manager and supporting staff. The Management Group will be requested to review, develop and recommend to the Board protocols for the MFNL, including guidelines for proactive communication with the public and the conflict resolution framework. The Management Group may establish working groups and/or conflict resolution groups.
No less than three LCNs will be incorporated as autonomous organizations. Each organization’s key goal will be to provide long-term stable benefits for its members and the community. They will also provide an equitable decision-making process and generate community driven initiatives.
