Committees

CESBA Committees

CESBA committees are comprised of administrators and program staff from member boards, as well as key community stakeholders, who wish to work closely with CESBA staff and Board of Directors to provide leadership and strategic direction in a range of capacities. Our committees organize events, develop and highlight needed resources, and identify procedures and regulations implemented by funding bodies.

I decided to join a CESBA committee to encourage more communication between the various Ministries and our boards of education. I feel strongly that our boards need a voice to share their concerns, accomplishments and ideas with the ministries that fund our programs, and I see CESBA as a strong vehicle to achieve this. Our committees also work to create safe and supportive environments to learn from one another and develop professionally. I feel privileged to be able to support my colleagues in this way. – Susie Nunes, Principal, York Region District School Board
