In the past each Pilot has involved two executive members. These positions are hired internally and not open to the public at Queen’s University. In the past, a Pilot Initiative has taken place over approximately four weeks in the Spring, in which QHO conducts a variety of needs-assessments and communications with relevant stakeholders to get a better idea of QHO’s role in the community. This is followed by sample programming run by QHO, to ensure community members understand the aims and scope of QHO’s initiative model.
