Parkdale Project Read, a community literacy program, is hosting a symposium called "Moving beyond tokenism: Strengthening community on community Boards of Directors." This symposium invites members of community boards of directors to discuss barriers such as arcane procedures, formal language and an over-reliance on written documents to the full participation at community board meetings, particularly by board members who do not have experience working on boards of directors, who may have difficulty reading minutes and written background material.
