Honourary Membership

Persons nominated for Honourary Membership must be individuals who have contributed to the objectives of CAUCE. Previous decisions regarding Honourary Membership have tended to interpret contribution or service in the light of national or regional impact and not solely on the basis of local accomplishments.

Nominations shall include biographical data and an outline of the nominee's contribution to continuing education generally and to the Canadian Association for University Continuing Education more specifically. The CAUCE Executive will decide on an appropriate recipient(s) at its February meeting and will advise both the nominee and nominator shortly thereafter.

In addition to peer recognition, Honourary Members may attend all CAUCE meetings.

The 2009-2010 deadline for nomination for Honourary Membership is March 5, 2010.

Journal Award

This award recognizes excellence in an article published in the Journal of University Continuing Education in the calendar year preceding the Annual General Meeting. The editor of the Journal is responsible for setting up an adjudication committee, whose activities will include review of adjudication criteria if warranted. It may be determined that no award will be given in a particular year.

The committee should be formed by February of each year so that the work may be done in March and April. The winner(s), if any, should be made known to the President-elect by May 1 so that the winner(s) may be advised in time to attend the awards ceremony at the Annual Conference. In addition to the name(s) of the winner(s), the full title of the article(s) and any comments from the adjudication committee should be sent to the President-elect for inclusion in the awards booklet.

The Award Of Recognition

This award, instituted in 1988, is to be given annually if a suitable candidate is nominated by a member university continuing education unit. It may be awarded to a Canadian who is not employed as a professional in university continuing education and who has made an outstanding contribution to the development of continuing education/adult education in Canada . Nominations may only be received from Institutional Members of CAUCE. The deadline for nominations is normally the end of February. The 2009-2010 deadline for nomination is February 26, 2010.
