A clear view of where the profession is going in Canada, and an Institute positioned to take members there.
The commitments
Vision, Voice and Value.
Three commitments run through every pillar of the plan and are the test the Board applies to each decision.
An authoritative and useful voice on workplace performance and learning, grounded in evidence rather than opinion.
Membership that repays itself, through certification, community, research and career support members can point to.
