The Discussion is divided up into the various paths (or capacities) we want to explore. Under each path there are a number of sub-paths, where we ask you to provide your comments. Basically, we ask that you share - in point form if you wish – “do’s” and “don’ts,” and any caveats you think people should be mindful of based on your experiences in one or more of the following inter-related paths to financial vibrancy:

We also ask that if you have a success story, to please share that as well. Success stories will inspire others and help them see your success as real and attainable.

Keep in mind: there is more to financial vibrancy than finance.

First and foremost, financial vibrancy is the product of multiple organizational capacities such as visioning, strategic planning, leadership, financial and program accountability, effective human resource management, effective communication and partnership, and so forth. No single capacity works in isolation from any of the others; and moreover, they are dynamically linked: responding to opportunities, challenges and needs on an ongoing basis.

You’re now ready to get started … Reflect. Relax. Share. Thanks very much for your participation! If you have any questions, contact Shelley Smith at shelley@onestep.on.ca
