Council Approves Special Project to Update the CABF Governance Structure
With the rapid expansion of the CABF in recent years, both with respect to the number and geographic distribution of individual members and member churches and the increase in the number of activities, such as the Cross Canada Conferences and contacts with other like-minded organizations within Canada and internationally, the time has come to review the Association's amended By-Law #2 to identify places where it can be updated and meet evolving needs.
At its November 13, 2024 meeting, Council unanimously approved the following motion: "That the Constitution and Governance Committee be given a mandate to do a thorough review of the needs of the CABF organizations with regard to structure and governance and any necessary changes to the By-Laws, to position us to move forward as a national organization."
A copy of a document providing background and introduction to the Special Project is available here.
Council will meet once each month to review progress with the Special Project Team and review options for potential strategies for each area where improvement is desired. When completed, this work will come to a Meeting of Members for discussion and vote on a Special Resolution to amend By-Law #2 and make changes to the Policy and Procedures Manual.
Initial work will attempt to identify issues and opportunities for improving our processes. We are looking for as broad input as possible and would welcome written submissions. We are also happy to speak with you, if you would like a personal interview or to participate in a small focus group. In any case, please contact the Special Project Team by using the Contact Us button for Constitution Chair at the right of this page or sending an email to This email address is being protected from spambots.
