Representative Democracy Mind Map :
Role of Representatives?
The role of representatives is to represent their group and attending meetings and elections.
They can't just deny to go to a meeting they must go to represent their group or association.
The representatives must listen to their groups word and they must include it when they go to talk. They also can say things on their own mind/opinions.
Responsibility of Representatives?
Try to listen to your people and make decisions on behalf of them.
As a representative you need to stay in touch with you people and that you update them on stuff.
If you want to be a representative you need to give your association or group a good reputation by being a good represntative.
How associations make decisions?
The vote of every member is equally important. Members elect representatives to the Board of Directors, these include representatives for each region, members at large, and a provincial president.
Here are some ways they do decision making in MNA. All members have equal decision making powers. A General Assembly each year discusses policies and activities. All members elect a provincial president and vice-president. Each of the 6 regions has a regional council with an elected regional president and vice-president and Métis representatives. The Provincial Council of the MNA includes the provincial president and vice-president, and the presidents and vice-presidents from each region. It has 14 members.
Members of ACFA discuss issues and activities at an Annual General Meeting. Members 16 or older can attend the meeting.
Purpose of associations?
ACFA presents Francophone perspectives to the government officials and to ensure that the rights of the Francophones rights are protected.
MNA and ACFA's purpose is kinda the same protecting their people's rights, bringing their perspectives to the government, and others.
The whole purpose of MNA is to give Métis people a chance at being heard in the society. They also protect Métis people's rights.
How associations communicate with members?
In reality MNA and ACFA aren't that different when it comes to communication to their members.
ACFA has regular regional and annual meetings held. They also have the ACFA website open to anyone. The weekly newspaper called
Le Franco
also updates them and other stuff. They have ACFA centers in every region of Alberta. They also have personal contacts and regular e-mail updates to members regarding events across Alberta. They also have information bulletins sent to members.
For MNA they use a magazine called Otipemisiwak to tell them about fun events and exclusive content about the Métis. MNA also has regular and annual meetings. They also have a website and have offices in each region. They also have personal contact emails.
