Changes at "Natalie Odd "

The Green Party of Canada is at a crossroads. We seem to be losing touch with the grassroots culture that has been the source of our energy and strength. The Party’s crises have shaken the confidence of our members and our fellow Canadians, yet we fail to prioritize changes which would help prevent the next crisis. Our membership numbers, votes and fundraising decline accordingly.

I have personally witnessed the current governance challenges, demonstrated by a poor Council self-assessment, the Indigenous Peoples’ Advisory Circle losing members, unproductive meetings, and 70% of Councillors leaving in 2022.

Change is required.

We need a President with a record of thinking strategically while leading diverse groups that achieve ambitious objectives; an experienced leader committed to providing a unifying, inclusive, and professional culture in which all Councillors thrive; a leader who will model constructive behaviours that embody the Green Party’s values.

My commitment to building effective environmental organizations began with a profound personal connection to nature, which led to an Environment & Management graduate degree. I’ve been an Executive Director since 2003, currently of the Alberta Environmental Network. Under my stewardship, it has transformed from a disparate group of environmental organizations with competing priorities into a vibrant community of collaborating organizations, harnessing collective strength to drive tangible results.

This is what we need for Federal Council.

Time is short. The Green Party needs to demonstrate competency in order to earn Canadians’ votes. We urgently need a unified Council with clear goals to prepare and position the GPC to elect Green MPs in the next federal election. We need to revitalize the Party, but in a fiscally responsible manner that empowers and motivates our volunteer base.

I have the skills and commitment necessary to move the Green Party of Canada forward. I respectfully ask for your support.
