Committees are vital to ensuring CACEE is a vibrant, relevant, and dynamic community for our members. Each committee leads important work that drives the association forward and makes it the very best it can be. Committee membership is intended to reflect the diverse cross-section of organizations, geographies, identities, career stages, perspectives, and experiences of the CACEE membership.
The following committees comprise CACEE's current committee structure:
Stewards the CACEE Competencies to reflect the knowledge, skills, and attitudes needed to excel in the post-secondary to career transition space and are embedded into CACEE’s programming DNA. This committee also promotes the CACEE Competencies within the CACEE community (and, beyond) and serves as a resource for leaders looking to leverage the competencies to support the development of their teams.
Coordinates the annual 'Call for Nominations' and Elections for the CACEE National Board of Directors, along with the annual 'Call for Volunteers' to serve on Regional Advisory Boards and CACEE Committees.
