Achieving our ultimate outcome as an organization requires all of us to work towards a common set of goals and outcomes. As a President of a Chapter, you champion and lead your members to contribute to those goals. This requires creativity, teamwork, and an ability to bring people together to complete and meet mutually agreed upon projects, goals, and objectives.

 

Since the 2020-2021 academic year, we have been working with the Impact Framework as well the Community Distributed Team (DT) as mechanisms for guiding and supporting all Chapters in achieving a bigger impact as a collective.

 

The goals of the Impact Framework fall within 5 major areas:

When assessing any undertaking as members of the EWB community, we utilize a set of decision tools to answer the questions:

  • Does it address any of the five Impact Areas that we have come up with as a Community?

  • Does it contribute to any of the targets identified by our Community?

  • Is it focused on global issues, in particular, those connected to Sub-Saharan Africa? Does it engage Canadians in international development? and/or our beneficiaries in Sub-Saharan Africa?

  • Does it fulfill EWB’s Core Values?
