Topic: The Impact of United Way Ottawa's Funding Cutbacks on Local Agencies
Jenny Gullen will speak about Ottawa Community Action's concerns about the process used this year by UWO to allocate campaign dollars as well as its efforts to ensure greater transparency and accountability, in line with the UWO promise:
"To invest resources where they are needed the most and where they will have the greatest impact."
The Community Action Committee was formed to unite agency protests to the Board of Directors of United Way Ottawa. Read the background to the issues on their website www.putcommunityfirst.ca.
