As a follow-up to our inaugural WET Community Group meeting, Systemscope will host our first planning session focused on the overarching strategy and specifically, a governance model for managing WET across sectors.

Remote participation is also possible - an outline for a governance approach will be available here before and after the meeting for discussion. So, if you can't make this meeting, rest assured: you can still influence the outcome.

Table of Contents

Who should attend?

  • People with experience in developing and expanding collaboration networks, strategy, planning, governance, and/or communications.
  • People wishing to represent their sector - private, non-profit, municipal, federal, provincial or academic - on a governance board of some sort.
  • People who have time to dedicate to working(!) on a strategy, governance and/or communications.
If you are interested in more specific activities other than those listed above, we anticipate these will branch out from the governance hub over the coming months. Participation in this meeting is not mandatory for everyone wishing to participate.
