Membership Categories

Participating Organizations include Founding Members and Contributing Members.

Founding Member
The four Founding Members - NorQuest College, University of Alberta, CapitalCare and Alberta Health Services - have special status in recognition of their development of ICCER. They each have 2 seats on the Steering Committee.

Contributing Member
Contributing Member status requires a substantial contribution - either financial or in-kind. Since all organizations do not have the same flexibility of resources, the Steering Committee will take into account the characteristics of an organization when considering contributing membership applications. A Contributing Member organization has a voting seat on the ICCER Steering Committee.

Advisory Committee Member
Organizations that may not be able to, or want to, make significant financial or in-kind contributions can participate on the ICCER Advisory Committee on approval of the Steering Committee.
