Check out our new Clubhouse Development board! There are many important aspects of running a Clubhouse, and we thought there should be a dedicated, visible space to organize big-picture aspects of our work including, but not limited to:
- Unit Planning
- Decision-Making
- Strategic Planning
- Colleague Training
- Accreditation
There are two International Standards that relate to the work mentioned above, functioning as guiding principles:
Clubhouse International Standard #20 states, "Members have the opportunity to participate in all the work of the Clubhouse, including administration, research, enrolment and orientation, reach out, hiring, training and evaluation of staff, public relations, advocacy and evaluation of Clubhouse effectiveness."
Clubhouse International Standard #37 states, "The Clubhouse holds open forums and has procedures which enable members and staff to actively participate in decision making, generally by consensus, regarding governance, policy making, and the future direction and development of the Clubhouse."
