All CIPS Honorary Members have recently had their membership status changed to CIPS Honorary Fellow. There are no changes to their membership privileges, and they will continue to be entitled to a lifelong membership in CIPS. The reason for this change is as follows.
In 2004 CIPS embarked on a review of its governance structure. The introduction of Provincial Societies in the 1990's and the subsequent transfer of responsibility for the I.S.P. designation to them meant that the existing governance model was not serving CIPS well. A new governance structure was approved in 2006. The National Constitution Committee (NCC), working with the Executive and the Governance Committees, revised the by-laws to accommodate the new governance model. These by-law changes were approved by the membership at the National Annual General Meeting on May 7, 2008.
CIPS has been operating under the new governance structure since the May 2008 AGM, although there are still some constitutional changes required to complete the governance change process. The NCC and the CIPS governing Board have been working together to prepare these additional changes and they are now available to all members for review and comment at: http://www.cips.ca/Governance. It is expected that these changes will be presented to the membership in the Fall for ratification.
The most significant change will see CIPS National become a Society of Societies where its voting members are the CIPS Provincial Societies. Individual CIPS members would remain voting members of a Provincial Society but will not have voting privileges at the national level.
