| Professional Development Sub-Committee |
| The Professional Development Sub-Committee of the board supports the professional development goals of the Canadian Institutional Research and Planning Association (CIRPA). This includes organizing the annual Spring Forum, a half-day event held each spring on topics of interest to the broader CIRPA membership. This complimentary event is free for all CIRPA members.
In addition to the Spring Forum, the Professional Development Sub-Committee arranges the annual Best Presentation Webinar. This event celebrates and recognizes an exceptional presentation from the fall conference, providing the winner with an opportunity to present to the entire CIRPA membership before attending the annual Association for Institutional Research (AIR) conference. Finally, the Professional Development Sub-Committee administers the CIRPA Mentorship Program. This unique opportunity pairs members of the organization in mentoring relationships, allowing both participants to build lasting connections while mutually benefiting from new learning and knowledge sharing.
