Introductions
All present took the opportunity to introduce themselves and give a brief
overview of what brought them to attend this open meeting of CYCABC.
Historical Update
Sonja R. gave a brief overview of the history of CYCABC from when she
joined in and became involved. Highlights include:
* Sonja R. joined in February 2003 with Angie Prescott and Mike Burnett
* Summer of 2003 it began to disintegrate
* Took most of 2004 to work with lawyers to restore and build Executive
again
* CYCABC regained CYCABC financial/legal restoration.
* Tania B. met with Canadian Council at Calgary Conference.
* Executive team has been working on recruitment drives, website content
(with help from Scott), establishing bylaws and constitutions that are
appropriate for the level we are currently functioning at, an AGM, and
the exploration of issues such as professionalism, wage parody, job opportunities
in CYC & networking within our communities.
Deborah Anderson and Leanne Rose Sladde were able to go over previous
historical pieces as they had both participated in various Executive positions
on the Executive in the past. The information they offered included:
* CYCABC began many years ago at UVIC and was comprised only of professors.
* Although this offered many resources, Association lacked a voice for
the actual
Practitioner, so membership was sought out and supported by UVIC.
* CYCABC became regional, with 5 regions participating.
* Formed a self regulatory committee to work on the Certification Process.
Each step of certification was sent out to members for ratifications.
* The Certification Manual was, and still is, ‘cutting edge’
for it’s time.
* CYCABC also participated in various aspects of the profession, (I.e.
the Gove Inquiry).
* Health Professions Act came out and CYC wanted to be seen as independent
From this, so Self Regulatory committee came up with their own model,
but it’s
Whereabouts is unknown.
* A Human Services Act was then created to meet the needs of various groups.
Leanne Rose Sladde made reference to her visions of a restoring the previous
work of the Association and looking at B.C.’s legislation for Child
and Youth Care as well as the Certification Manual began by the CYCABC.
She also shared information about the Educational Consortium and possible
resources available to recruit membership and receive financial support.
Canadian Council on Child and Youth Care
Tania B. reviewed the 3 models demonstrated by the CCCYC. Brief group
discussion followed about the CCCYC’s efforts to seek out a model
for use on a national level.
Committee Establishment
The Executive Board has decided to lessen individual workloads by creating
various committee’s to delve into specified areas. It was decided
that a Self Regulatory committee or one that focuses on the vision of
Certification will be placed on hold for the future. The Committee’s
created were the AGM committee and Membership Committee. Sonja R. and
Tania B. have specific duties as President and Vice President, so they
will contribute to each committee accordingly but not join one specifically.
All Provincial Members are welcome to join in on these committees.
AGM Committee
The AGM committee consists of Rebecca Wykes, Heidi Howitt, Charlene Roulston,
and Lorna MacPherson. The main goal of this committee is to plan for the
Annual General Meeting. While discussing the formation of the committee,
an open discussion occurred of what was necessary to hold an AGM. Leanne
Rose Sladde suggested attaching the AGM to Mal-U’s upcoming CYC
Reunion in June. The Executive Board agreed this was too soon for preparation,
but concurred that this could be effective for costs and enhancing outside
participation. The Executive Team decided to contact other Educational
Institutions to determine if any other resources were hosting events in
the Fall of 2005 and would be willing to have the AGM attach to this.
Along with the planning for an AGM, financial documents must be in order
and ready for all members to review one month prior the meeting. Karen
J. will give information to Financial Consultant for review. This information
will then be sent electronically to all provincial members.
Sonja R. will put together a Presidential year end report for the AGM.
Amanda C. and Deborah A. will put together a short summary of the activities
of the membership committee.
Membership Committee
The Membership Committee consists of Amanda Charette, Deborah Anderson
and Darri Sanders. A sub-committee also exists of Rebecca Wykes, Karen
Joslin and Margaret Mulholland McNab. Rebecca W. will work on promotion
of membership through media resources and Margaret M. and Karen J. will
continue with their membership drives and contacts at UVIC.
Other duties outlined for the Membership Committee include:
* Making Membership tied to Fiscal Year
* Membership Drives
* Contacts with all educational institutions that have CYC programs
* Promotion of Membership
* Processing of membership applications and cards
* Email contacts/updates with provincial members
* Quarterly Newsletter
