Case Study Assignment
Read Case 2 on page 417 "Food Banks Canada: Revisiting Strategy 2012".
Food Banks Canada is a growth and change story about a not-for-profit national organization that was created by its affiliated members to better address hunger issues and get needed food to the poor. In response to decline and poor performance, it altered its governance process, opted for a federated structure, renewed its leadership and staff, and put a renewed vision and strategy to work. Five years have passed and the CEO is considering what they should do next.
Below are the four "4" questions I need answered. **Note: But don't just answer the questions write the answers as an essay with the
