2024 AFOA BC Awards

The Aboriginal Financial Officers Association of BC will be hosting this years’ Best Practices and Band Administrator Awards at our upcoming Indigenous Financial Management Conference at the Marriott Pinnacle in Vancouver on Thursday, December 5th during the luncheon at 12:30pm.

2024 Best Practices Awards
sponsored by: BMO

While there are different awards for individuals, it is recognized that long term excellence is a result of a team commitment. These awards have been designed to recognize excellence based on the collective efforts of a community.
 
As best practices are employed in all communities, all submissions will be considered. There will be three awards presented based on community size.
Please select the size of the community (small: less than 250, medium: 251-500, large: over 500) you are nominating.
 
To apply write a short submission outlining some of the accomplishments in financial management, strategic planning and/or governance that exemplifies good or best practices within your community. Please provide as much detail and examples as you can.
