Participants will learn from the Brighton Quinte West FHT experience of advancing a community governance model built on collaborative leadership to achieve their organizational transformation.   The presentation will outline the process to create a standard approach for accountability and link strategic direction within a policy framework.  The process focused on consistent application of relevant priorities based on the identified organizational deficits and opportunities for corporate standardization.  The approach to link system performance targets and organizational measurement will be beneficial to other organizations in defining a high performing team and incorporating unique community perspectives.
