CMA – ENET Merger Announcement and Survey

 

August 21, 2008

The CMA and ENET Board’s of Directors are excited to announce they have both voted unanimously to merge these two organizations.  Board members from both groups are in favor of the proposed amalgamation, which would create one society to represent the BC career development community – The BC Career Development Association (BCCDA). 

Both ENET and the CMA have long and proud histories serving members of the Career Practitioner/Career & Employment Counselling sector in BC. In making this decision, the Boards of both associations took into consideration both the best interests of their members as well as the trends and changes occurring in our sector and in government program funding. We are committed to preserving the spirit, strengths, friendships, and partnerships of both organizations, honouring and building upon the great work done by both groups.

Numerous benefits of this merger include:

  • One professional association to represent the needs of the individual members of the BC Career Development community
  • Streamlined administrative costs and resources to offer more value to the combined membership, while maintaining the best of both organization’s member services and training opportunities (ENET Training Days, CMA Career Development Conference, etc)
  • Larger and stronger collaborative membership voice to promote the professionalization and recognition of our sector and our members
  • A one-stop portal for career practitioner information, certification, professional development, and resources

As we enter into this process, we are now soliciting feedback from members of CMA and ENET, as well as other members of the BC Career Development community. We want to know what opportunities you see this merger providing, and also to solicit your concerns so that we can take those into account during our planning. We have therefore created a joint online survey, open for completion from August 20th to September 15th, 2008.  Each organization will collate and review the results from their membership, as well as from the broader community, and use this feedback as we move forward.  Please respond as soon as possible.

This quick survey of three questions should take only a couple minutes to complete.  Please click on the link below, which will take you directly to this confidential survey.  As an added bonus, the first 150 survey respondents will be entered into a draw for a complimentary one year individual membership.

This is your association and your sector. Help us become the best professional association possible by providing your thoughts and comments.

Thank you from the CMA and ENET Boards of Directors
