Audited Financial Statements 2012 – 2013 44 National Aboriginal Diabetes Association, Inc. Page 3 Executive Summary The National Aboriginal Diabetes Association (NADA) receives funding from Health Canada - First Nations and Inuit Health. The Contribution Agreement spans three years, from 2011 – 2014 and is supported by a three year Work Plan. NADA’s 2013 – 2014 Annual Report highlights the accomplishments and challenges realized during the third and final year of the current Contribution Agreement. As mentioned earlier, NADA is under a three (3) year funding agreement which is a first for the organization. This funding approach facilitates staff retention, program continuity, partnership building and working collaboratively over the long haul, project development, such as increasing electronic distribution of significant and relevant diabetes resources to Aboriginal Diabetes Initiative (ADI) workers, advocacy, networking and raising the profile of diabetes and First Nations and Inuit peoples at the forefront of the health agenda. Project activity can resume on a continuum rather than stop and go as in previous years. Additionally, NADA received support from Health Canada to coordinate and host the 7th National Aboriginal Diabetes Conference and Diabetes Strategic Planning Session – Celebrating Success: Building Healthier Pathways. This conference provided professional development and continuing education to ADI workers from across Canada who deliver diabetes prevention and management programming in First Nation and Inuit communities. Continuing education and professional development series, such as the 7th National Diabetes conference have been identified as instrumental in retaining these workers and maintaining their skill levels and competencies. During the conference, a special diabetes strategic planning session engaged ADI workers and other conference participants to provide wide-ranging feedback on successful approaches and impacts of diabetes and health promotion programming for First Nations and Inuit as well as strategies to enhance future programming. The conference planning, coordination and hosting was a gigantic undertaking that consumed several months of time, skill and energy from NADA staff. As such, some work plan activities were diminished. This report includes references to work plan activity and outcomes, partnerships, conference and strategic planning evaluation and reporting activity, updated technology, and other activities, such as Just Move It and the NADA Audited Financial Statements. National Aboriginal Diabetes Association, Inc. Page 4 Introduction to NADA’s Work Plan, 2011 – 2014 Work Plan Goals, Objectives and Activities NADA’s Work Plan included goals, objectives, activities and time frames with cost centres for each activity. Some activities, such as the NADA Newsletter and website, are ongoing activities that span the 3 – year Contribution Agreement (CA) while others, such as National Aboriginal Diabetes Awareness Day (NADA-D) are highlighted in the first year only. NADA believes that NADA-D is too important and continues to support this event each year. This report, Annual Report 2013 – 2014, will focus on the goals, objectives, activities and outcomes of the NADA Work Plan for year 3.

The feedback and results from the face-to-face consultations and the engagement survey were collected and are described in this report. This feedback was provided by conference participants, Aboriginal health directors, Chiefs, members of Tribal Councils, community workers, and government partners. The aim of the strategic planning process was to: • • • • Provide a forum for sharing community knowledge; successes; best practices; challenges; and opportunities Collect community feedback and develop a report that will influence future ADI programming Develop and implement an online survey immediately following the session to capture valuable feedback from community workers and others who were unable to attend the session, or did not have the opportunity to share their community stories Develop a report for wide distribution that will support future Aboriginal diabetes and health programming Ten breakout sessions were facilitated the morning of November 28th. Each session involved approximately 20 to 25 people, and was assigned a facilitator and note-taker. Sessions were approximately 45 minutes in duration. Participants were asked to attend two sessions during the morning, with a break between each. Once the first session was completed they rotated to a new session where the process was repeated. The sessions were designed to gather maximum input from all participants to help develop the core content of the strategic planning and on-line survey report. Each group focused on a different theme. These included: • Living well with diabetes National Aboriginal Diabetes Association, Inc. Page 41 Strategic Planning session continued • • • • From awareness to change Healthy communities Working together Mental health and emotional support Each group had at least two facilitators; one to moderate the discussions and one or two to take notes. The online process mirrored that of the group process, except that people completing the process online had the opportunity to respond to all five themes, while the people in the group process could focus on one or two. In the end approximately 85 people participated in the online process. The results of combining the content from both processes yielded over 80 typed pages of content.
