The NACCS was set up as a separate legal entity affiliated
through Board Representatives with the NACA. It is not operating as a subsidiary
in anyway, but has very close affiliation through its board members and
corporate objective to promote curling in Alberta.
There were two reasons for creating the separate entity to
run the Edmonton 1999 Brier.
- NACA Executive members and past presidents that were
dedicated to the sport and NACA would be entrusted to manage the event,
leaving NACA to carry on business as usual.
- From a legal perspective the financial outcome of the
event and the business conduct of the host committee members would not be
challenged through the NACA. Simply… NACA did not have to accept any
accountability, risk or liability with the event and could not be sued nor
would a financial loss on the event impact NACA.
The Brier was a huge success and exceeded expectations. The
NACCS board has recommended that the NACCS become a legacy for NACA and be
managed by key individuals responsible for the success and representatives of
NACA.
Rationale:
- The investment of funds will require resources to
evaluate, contract and manage initiatives. Workload cannot be born by NACA.
- A separate organization is oblivious to the NACA and
curling politics and influences and can protect the funds earned to ensure
they meet objectives of Revenue Generation for NACA and NACCS.
- NACCS will maintain the continuity and perpetuity of the
fund so it is not lost through changing executives and governance.
- NACCS will ensure the funds are put to promotional use and revenue
generation and not capital projects as was the funds generated by the 1987
Brier.
