Contribute to the success of your membership body and nominate for NDP's Divisional Committee!

National Disability Practitioners’ (NDP) Divisional Committee plays a key role in ensuring the success of NDP. It represents the voice of NDP members in delivering NDP’s national strategic priorities and mission.

As part of the Committee, you will have the chance to contribute in the development of resources and engage with members to promote NDP. Plus, you will help inform the Committee of trends and member needs or issues.

The Divisional Committee consists of 7 to 9 members who act in a voluntary capacity. Under NDP’s By-Laws, members may annually elect two people to the Divisional Committee for a three (3) year appointment.

The Divisional Committee meets at least four (4) times a year. A member can attend in person, by telephone, by web conference, video conferencing or such other electronic means as agreed.

Why join the NDP Divisional Committee?

In addition to contributing to NDP’s direction, a position on the Divisional Committee will provide governance experience and the ability to network with other talented professionals.

Details of NDP’s current Divisional Committee can be viewed on the NDP website.
