A Single Story of Governance, Part 2

"In Part 2 of Triple Vision’s exploration of what is the single story behind governance at CNIB, Peter and Hanna speak with Mary Ellen Gabias and Albert Ruel about what they heard from Jane Beaumont and Kevin Burns in Episode 29. In our last podcast, Jane and Kevin discussed the CNIB governance structure from its origins to where it is today. At the end of this episode the Triple Vision team asked the question, “Do Canadian consumers who are blind, deafblind, and partially sighted share those same views?” In this episode, Mary Ellen and Albert talk frankly about what works for them and what does not coming out of CNIB’s structure, governance and programs. “I get a lot of advice from my siblings, my husband, my children. What I do with advice is what most people do with advice. I take it under advisement and accept the advice that I like and reject the advice that I don’t. CNIB as an entity does that too. But, I, as a consumer, if I think that the organization is going in the wrong direction, I can vote with my feet by not showing up, but beyond that there’s very little that can be done.” Join the Triple vision team for Part 2 of this illuminating in-depth exploration of the single story of governance at CNIB."
