stream opens at 11:50 am
Hosted by award winning Fair and Ag Society advocate Ian Hill
Whether you lead a Fair Board, Ag Society, or nonprofit, strategy isn’t just paperwork—it’s your compass. A clear, community-driven plan unites people, aligns resources, and brings purpose to every meeting, event, and decision.
In this powerful session, Ian welcomes Tim Carson, CEO of AAAS and recipient of the 2024 IAFE Executive of the Year Award. Tim has helped guide strategic planning across Alberta’s 290+ ag societies—and he’ll share how local leaders like you can move from maintenance to momentum. This isn’t theory. It’s tools, frameworks, and practical guidance that works in real-world, volunteer-led organizations like yours.
Learning Outcomes:
• Understand the essential elements of a strategic plan and how to make it meaningful for your Fair Board, Ag Society, or nonprofit.
• Engage your team in shaping vision, aligning values, and building commitment through inclusive, grassroots planning.
• Apply proven tools and templates used across Alberta to turn big ideas into practical steps that move your mission forward.
