CACPT seeks nominations of
individuals to stand for
election to its National
Board of Directors
Please note the deadline
for nominations: March 31, 2011
Background:
The CACPT Board of Directors
is the organization's
national governing body. It
comprises 11 directors who
are elected and allowed to
serve successive terms. Any
current member of CACPT may
stand for election to one of
the 11 seats. The Board will
serve as the Nominations
Committee and will develop a
list of candidates to be
presented to the membership
of CACPT. Members in good
standing will elect the 11
directors from a list
presented. The list will
consist of current Board
members eligible and willing
to stand for re-election and
individuals not currently
serving on the Board but who
are nominated by CACPT
members,
or themselves.
Board membership requires a
dedicated commitment of time
- approximately ten to
fifteen days per year - and
dependable availability to
attend meetings and
undertake activities on
CACPT's behalf throughout
the term of office. In
addition, personal efforts
to help cover costs of board
participation are expected
in the first year. Every
effort will be made to
create a budget that will
include funding for travel
to meetings for the Board of
Directors in the future and
as the funds allow.
Selection
Criteria:
In selecting nominees, the
current Board of Directors
will take into account CACPT
needs for national
representation on the Board
to be filled by persons who:
-
have
institutional and
individual credibility
at national, regional
and/or international
levels in the Child
Mental Health profession
and specifically Play
Therapy;
-
have
experience at managerial
levels and/or as a
member of other boards
of directors;
-
possess
relevant specialized
knowledge and / or
skills; and,
-
have
demonstrated an active
commitment to CACPT's
mission, vision, values
and programmes.
The
Nominations Committee will

for a Board that
collectively is:
-
broadly
representative of
CACPT's national reach
and geographic
-
diversity;
-
broadly
representative of
CACPT's membership
composition (by
institutional type,
