As the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games are approaching, berths on the Canadian Team are becoming more and more contentious. Decisions are already being made that will affect the team selection for Vancouver-Whistler in 2010. Will your federation be able to avoid the hardship of team selection disputes on the way to those Games?
Come and meet the experts of the SDRCC to find out how the SDRCC’s new strategy in sports-related dispute prevention can assist you with these challenges. During this two hour session, you will learn what services the SDRCC can offer that will help you reduce the risks of disputes arising from your team selection, carding, and eligibility or discipline decisions.
Allan Stitt will talk about the resolution facilitation process, the newest service offered by the SDRCC to help NSOs and MSOs handle disputes before they grow and affect relationships with and between your members.
Marie-Claude Asselin and Fredy Iuni will lead an interactive exercise, based on real SDRCC team selection cases from the recent past, during which you will have an opportunity to learn key lessons that will enable you to better prevent team selection disputes in your sport.
As leaders in the Canadian sport system, your roles and responsibilities in policy making and in decision making are crucial to creating and fostering a culture of fairness in your sport; as well as to ensure that your members maintain positive and fruitful relationships in and out of competition. The dispute prevention strategies now offered by the SDRCC, can provide you with the knowledge and tools to do just that.
