The founding board voted on the following pieces of business in their inaugural teleconference: the boards name, presidency and
secretary. The founding board voted unanimously to use The Child and Youth Care Educational Accreditation Board of Canada
(CYCEAB of Canada) as its official name. The CYCEAB of Canada elected Carol Stuart as President, Dawne MacKay-Chiddenton as
Secretary and decided to leave the Vice-President role vacant at this time.
The CYCEAB of Canada is focused on creating the initial by-laws for membership to the board; governance structure (i.e. Board of
Directors); as well as incorporating and guiding the initial work of the Board. The Board’s work can be monitored at http://cyceduaccred.

The Child and Youth Care (CYC) Educational Program Accreditation Task Force was a time-limited and focused group acting within a
defined mandate on behalf of a large (and informally constituted) body of stakeholders from education, practice and policy arenas.
The task force’s mandate was to develop a flexible model of accreditation for post-secondary Child and Youth Care programs in
Canada. The final report and a final version of the Accreditation Model which included characteristics and objectives was presented at
the pre-conference Educators Day in Winnipeg on May 25, 2010. During the Pre-conference Day the task force’s ad hoc role came to a
conclusion as the members of the founding board were chosen to formalize the work of the task force. For a complete history of the task
force and the work that was completed to date please visit http://cyceduaccred.pbworks.com.
