Mission statement • A mission statement is how you will implement the vision for the organisation • Again as directed- split into groups and write a short mission statement- in 5 minutes • An example- The BWD will provide, charitable, representation, advocacy and development support to its members; to help meet the needs of the Bosnian communities they represent.’
Leadership • To make your vision a reality you will need the Leadership to deliver it • The Leadership would then work with the trustees to develop an organisational structure • Funding should be sought to fund officials and volunteers
Organisational Structure • Can you suggest any alternative structures ? • Or are you in agreement with the structure advocated by Sadida Trozic • Is anything missing?
