The CPED Board of Directors has adopted new Bylaws and is implementing new governance changes.

The primary goals for these changes are:

• To enlist Deans of CPED Institutional Members more directly in shaping CPED’s future and its programs; 
• To create more meaningful and formalized opportunities for faculty and other representatives of Institutional Members to have a voice in our shared work.

Two new bodies are being established: 

The new Deans Council and Delegates Council are being established. While the Board of Directors remains the governing body, members of the new bodies will have opportunities to participate in CPED governance. 

Additionally, Institutional Members will continue to have opportunities to participate in the activities of the CPED Action Council which consists of chairs of CPED initiatives and works with the executive director in executing the priorities established by the Board and Deans Council.
