Identifies
Strategic Priorities for 2016 and Beyond
On the
weekend of September 8th-9th, Skate Canada - Central Ontario,
27 stakeholders and volunteers
Focusing
on excellence in four areas - Athlete Development, Partner
Development, Human Resource Development and Resource Development
- areas were explored about what COS does well, what needs
improvement and what we can do to meet our potential.
After
18 hours of discussion and soul searching the following six
priorities were identified:
Under
Partner Development, COS will target additional sponsors and
develop a Marketing Advisory Committee. Regarding Athlete
Development, COS will further develop a Talent ID program
for our skaters as well as place further emphasis on the STARSkate
program. Under Organization Development, COS will explore
avenues to increase the efficiency of the current office structure
to meet the needs of all stakeholders which will include an
examination of future IT requirements. Finally, under the
Human Resources model, there will be an increase in the recruitment
of officials.
COS wishes
to thank all of the volunteers, officials, skaters and coaches
who took the time to complete the on-line pre-session survey.
Your input was greatly appreciated and gave the planning group
greater insight.
