We have made an important change to our committee structure as part of our ongoing commitment to regulatory excellence and effective governance.

Following a recent bylaw amendment, the Registration Committee and the Competence Committee have been formally combined into a single body—the Registration and Competence Committee.

This change reflects our goals of creating a more streamlined, responsive, and fit-for-purpose governance model.

Why the Change?

1. Improved Operational Efficiency
   By consolidating the two committees into one, we reduce duplication of work and enhance coordination across related regulatory functions. This also allows us to focus training and administrative support on one committee rather than two, resulting in more effective use of staff time and resources.
2. Optimized Use of Volunteer Resources
   A single committee structure requires fewer registrants, helping to ease the burden of committee recruitment while ensuring that those who serve gain broader, more integrated experience in registration and continuing competence.
3. Stronger Institutional Knowledge and Decision-Making
   With a focused, multidisciplinary committee, members develop a deeper understanding of both registration and competence-related issues. This continuity enhances consistency in decision-making and supports long-term knowledge retention, especially during transitions in membership or staff.

This bylaw change marks a meaningful step in aligning our governance structure with best practices in professional regulation. We’re confident that this integrated approach will support stronger outcomes for the profession, the public, and the College as a whole.
