Honorary Membership
Honorary Membership recognizes individuals who support the mission of the CPS.
Nomination requirements
-
Nominees are individuals who may not normally be eligible for membership, but who have dedicated their time to caring and advocating for children and youth. Candidates must be Canadian residents but need not be CPS members.
-
The Membership Subcommittee will judge candidates based on their contributions to advancing the health of children and youth by nurturing excellence in health care, advocacy, education and research.
Nominations will be held for two consecutive years but must be formally resubmitted following the two year period to be reconsidered. Current voting members of the CPS Board of Directors and Membership Subcommittee members are not eligible. The Membership Subcommittee reserves the right to limit the number of honorary memberships granted each year.

Submissions must include:
- Letters from both the nominator and seconder, both of whom are CPS members, describing how the nominee meets the above criteria.
