The RCIF Committee

The RCIF committee, which oversees and approves funding requests, is comprised of five representatives from the employers and UNA, along with a facilitator.   There is also a team of support people who work with the committee to ensure the effective use of funds to address rural and remote retention, recruitment and relocation challenges.  

Through effective collaboration, the Committee has created a robust application process for retention, recruitment and relocation funding and will continue to work collaboratively to update resources as needed.
