How are CLG members recruited and selected?
HRM begins each Community Visioning process with a Community Kick-Off celebration. Residents are invited to the Kick-Off where they can learn and express interest in the visioning process and the CLG. Recruitment for the CLG is also advertised in community newspapers, through e-mail lists, posters and flyer campaigns. CLG application forms are made available at the Kick-Off and online at VisionHRM’s website. All completed CLG applications are reviewed and screened by HRM Staff using selection criteria. The criteria have been established to ensure a broad and diverse group of people and interests (i.e. renters, owners, youth, seniors, long-time residents, newcomers, racially visible persons, persons with disabilities, etc…) are represented on the CLG. Selected applicants are then invited for a telephone interview and their participation as a CLG member is confirmed.
