CPBAO is the governing body for psychological and applied behaviour analysis (ABA) practitioners, Psychologists<\/em>, Psychological Associates<\/em>, and Behaviour Analysts<\/em> in Ontario. Our mandate is to protect the public interest by monitoring and regulating the practice of psychology and ABA. Through the participation of the public and the profession, CPBAO ensures the delivery of safe, competent, and ethical professional psychological and ABA services from qualified providers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPBAO is governed by a Board made up of both elected professional members and government-appointed members of the public. The Board’s work is supported by its Committees. CPBAO is seeking applications for appointment to these Committees.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Executive Committee is elected from the members of the College Council. The other Committees are composed of both professional and public members of the College Council as well as College members who are not on Council. All titles, Psychologist<\/em>, Psychological Associate<\/em> and Behaviour Analyst<\/em> are represented on every Committee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHY GET INVOLVED?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Involvement on CPBAO Committees provides registrants with an opportunity to take an active role in the self-regulation of the profession. Members provide useful insight to Committee discussions by drawing upon their knowledge, expertise in psychology, ABA and individual diversity. Committee members have a direct voice in determining policies, programs and services that ensure safe and effective delivery of psychological and behaviour analysis services.  During their one-year term, members will enhance their understanding of the inner workings of College governance and its processes and have an impact on how the professions are regulated. Becoming a Committee member is not only an opportunity to take part in important decision-making but also to learn new skills and become a leader in these professions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Committee participation may be counted toward one\u2019s Continuing Professional Development requirement, Section C \u2013 Additional Professional Development Activities.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

WHO SHOULD APPLY?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We are looking for registrants who are willing to dedicate time to participate on a Committee and who wish to assist in making decisions that reflect CPBAO’s mandate to protect public interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CPBAO strives to establish Committees that reflect ethics and human rights and to benefit from broad and varied points of view. Ontario is home to one of the most diverse populations in the world \u2013 most Ontarians can trace their roots outside of Canada. Ontarians represent diversity of race, colour, being Indigenous, places of origin, religions, immigrant and newcomer status, ethnic origins, abilities, sexual orientations, gender identities, gender expression, socioeconomic status, and age.  Recognizing this, the College knows that the needs of the public and the profession are best served through the involvement of those who recognize, respect, and promote the value inherent in such diversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through its Board and Committees, CPBAO endeavours to reflect the diversity of the Ontario public served by Psychologist<\/em>s, Psychological Associate<\/em>s and Behaviour Analyst<\/em>s. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
