Council Trainings
On December 5, there were two training sessions and Council and Committee Members attended via video conference. Council and Committee Members received training from the College’s Director of Operations, Lieran Docherty, on the College’s financials and how to engage with the College’s budget, quarterly statement of operations, and expectations of the external audit.
The College’s Governance Officer, Zahra Grant, delivered a training session on overcoming bias. This peer-learning workshop helped participants define and understand bias, how it can impact decisions, and ways to mitigate its influence while working on College Council, committees, and panels.

Naa Yoyo Nartey-Khama, RM was elected in November, 2023 in the College’s by-election for a professional Council Member to serve the remainder of the vacated term that runs from 2022-25. Naa joined the December Council Meeting.
