GOVERNANCE

Governance of the Maternal, Newborn, Child and Youth Network in Southwestern Ontario is handled by the MNCYN Executive Director, the Regional Leader, a Regional Steering Committee consisting of representatives from our Partner organizations, and an Executive Committee.

 

More information on our Committees can be found on our Membership Benefits page.

Dispute resolution

 

The following dispute resolution process shall be used to address and resolve conflicts.

 

As a first step, the parties directly involved will work to resolve the conflict using a non-mediated approach. If this does not resolve the conflict, the parties involved are required to provide written notice to the Regional Leader. The Executive Director will request that the Executive Committee help resolve the conflict no later than within 30 days of the written request. If the conflict involves the Executive Committee or the Regional Steering Committee, a mutually agreeable third party will, as required, be asked to mediate the dispute. The third party shall be acceptable to both parties. The cost of a mediator will be divided equally among the parties involved. Any dispute not resolved through mediation shall be settled through arbitration in accordance with the Arbitrations Act (Ontario) by a single arbitrator. If the parties are not able to agree upon an arbitrator, the selection of the arbitrator will be governed by the Arbitrations Act (Ontario). The award of the arbitrator shall be final and conclusive upon the parties and judgment upon such award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Unless the parties otherwise agree, the place of arbitration shall be London, Ontario.
