Non-Council Member Appointments

A non-council member appointment is a CRPO registrant who is appointed to a specific committee based on their knowledge, skill and expertise. Non-council members will attend regular committee meetings as well as committee panels to review specific cases or matters (e.g. registration applications that do not clearly meet the registration requirements).

The eligibility requirements are outlined in detail in the CRPO by-laws and the Non-Council Member Appointments policy linked in Related Resources below.

CRPO encourages applications from RPs:

• who are members of equity-deserving communities
• who work in a variety of modalities
• who work in a variety of settings, including institutions and other provincially-funded agencies
• with disabilities.

Additional Considerations:

• Professional competencies & committee-specific competencies (e.g., modality of practice, adjudicatory experience, mediation, etc.)
• Practice setting (e.g., hospital, rehab hospital/centre, community, private practice, etc.)
• Practice demographics (e.g., geographic location in the province, clients served, rural or urban, French-speaking, etc.)

Each Committee will require different skills and experience requirements as positions become open.

The appointment will last approximately one year. In accordance with the Non-Council Member Appointments policy, non-council appointments may serve a maximum of nine consecutive terms.

Non-council members who sit on committees receive remuneration for attendance and preparation in accordance with the Remuneration of Council and Committee Members policy linked in Related Resources below. When travel, accommodations and/or meals are required, non-council members will be reimbursed in accordance with the Travel Expenses Remuneration of Council and Committee Members policy, also linked below.
