Did they (Huu-ay-aht) have a change management Plan? And what were the thing they had in place prior to treaty that sustained them through the change?

Trudy’s answer:

I do not have access to or recall a compiled change management plan per say, however, based on memory, I offer the following:

• Having a consistent Executive Director (band administrator) throughout the change was very helpful
• Early implementation of various aspects of post Effective Date governance i.e., the separation of administration from politics was extremely helpful and is an ongoing priority.
• Having a clear, current, and achievable vision and strategic plan / direction has been very helpful.
