Hundreds of chiefs to gather in Halifax against a backdrop of controversy over the organization’s leadership and governance
is on the agenda at the organization’s annual meeting in Halifax this week, where hundreds of chiefs will gather against a backdrop of controversy over leadership and governance.
especially with the regional chiefs who preside over the organization’s powerful executive committee. That initiative was chaired by Khelsilem, who is also the chair of the Squamish Nation. On Tuesday, he is scheduled to unveil a report that calls on the AFN to transfer some of the executive committee’s powers to a new board of directors and create new accountability mechanisms within the organization.
The board of directors model “ensures fair representation, prevents dominance by specific groups, and allows qualified professionals to contribute to the Secretariat’s governance and decision-making processes,” the report says. Another recommendation calls for two-stage ranked-choice voting in AFN elections, and the appointment of a chief electoral officer.
