33 PENTICTON INDIAN BAND Turning Nightmares into Dreams (CANDO September 23, Nanaimo)

34 Turning Nightmares into Dreams The Beginning of the End In 2001 the Penticton Indian Band Community occupied and closed down the Administration office and all Band operations Like many First Nations we struggled with and faced many challenges: Governance and Administration Accountability and Transparency Capacity Government, Staff, Community - Education Communication Community Mistrust

35 Turning Nightmares into Dreams Where We Were No Vision No Goals No Training No Direction No policies : Finance, HR, Housing, Governance Staffing issues : Overstaffed, lack of qualified people No communication or relationship with the Community

36 Turning Nightmares into Dreams What Did That Mean? Spending what we didn t have Accumulative debt reached unmanageable levels Had to sign a 5 year Remedial Management plan under the supervision of AANDC One step away from 3 rd Party Management under AANDC Unable to provide housing for the Membership

37 Turning Nightmares into Dreams What We Needed to Do Eliminated non essential programs Reduced staffing by 30 % REBUILD RELATIONSHIP WITH COMMUNITY Acknowledge issues Assess where we are at Assess where we need to go How do we get there?

38 Turning Nightmares into Dreams Building Blocks for the Future Communication was the key to obtaining community input and the support for change :Establishing education requirements for key staff positions and Chief and Council, offering information sessions for Community learning and feedback Government and Administration focused on enhancing accountability and transparency to regain the trust and support of the Nation Adopting other First Nation Policies and Procedures Finance Human Resources Housing Governance

39 Turning Nightmares into Dreams Challenges and Barriers Community Buy In : The breakdown between Governance, Administration and Community was the biggest barrier to overcome. This is an ongoing challenge that we work on year to year. Everyone deserves and needs a voice Responsibility of Government and Administration to ensure everyone has a place and opportunity Responsibility of Members to take advantage of opportunities

40 Turning Nightmares into Dreams Challenges and Barriers Funding was second biggest challenge In a Remedial Management Plan Only essential program expenses were allowed No sources of revenue No funding sources to create policies, to offer training, to receive higher levels of education, not only for staff, but for membership as well

41 Turning Nightmares into Dreams The Next Level In 2010 the Penticton Indian Band and the First Nations Market Housing Fund (the Fund) created a partnership The Band recognized the importance of what the Fund had to offer in terms of capacity development support, would help us to the next level of excellence The Fund offered support in identifying what still needed to be done and where we needed to start

42 Turning Nightmares into Dreams The Benefits of Partnership Policy Development specifically for the Penticton Indian Band, created for the Community with Community input and support Finance Human Resources Housing Governance Management training Staff training, development and designations Community Engagement

43 Turning Nightmares into Dreams The Benefits of Partnership Identify Roles and Responsibilities of Council Electoral Policy Governance Policy Audit manual Revision of General Ledger Matrimonial Real Property Law Information Workshop for Community Input Special Events Policy Guidelines and Procedures for Economic Development opportunities for Band and Community Members as it relates to Events Chief and Council Code of Conduct, Conflict of Interest Workshop Constitution

44 Turning Nightmares into Dreams The Benefits of Partnership Succession planning Organizational Review Implementation of Finance Administration Law Multi- Year financial plans and budgets are prepared 31 Policies to strengthen Accountability, Transparency and Reporting Timely financial reporting Transparency and accountability

45 Turning Nightmares into Dreams The Benefits of Partnership The PIB has been approved for FMB Certification Can borrow long-term capital money Tells lenders and the rest of the world that PIB Maintains and uses a set of accepted and approved standards for governance and business practices Is accountable and transparent Is a strong Government
