PCI Conversations: A Fraser Basin Approach to Sustainability

PCI has added a second series to accompany our Leaders as Conveners series. The new series, PCI Conversations, will feature interviews with leaders in the field of collaborative governance. In the first two in the series, PCI Director Greg Wolf interviews Robert Grow, Founder of Envision Utah, and David Marshall, Executive Director of the Fraser Basin Council.

Over the past 10 years, the Council and its partners have tackled more than 50 important sustainability issues, and have established a solid track record of getting people together to find practical, common sense solutions to long-standing issues.
To achieve its goals, the FBC acts as an impartial, trusted facilitator operating under a unique model of collaborative leadership that is inherently open, informed, inclusive and flexible. A 36 member Board of Directors oversees the work of the FBC and sets strategic priorities. Under this model, FBC Directors from four orders of Canadian government, the private sector and civil society work together as equals to tackle big issues, overcome conflict, find common ground, make informed and responsible decisions, generate long-term solutions to complex issues and take advantage of opportunities to enhance sustainability "on the ground."
