The ITE Toronto Executive appoints members to various Committee roles to assist in delivering services to our members. The ITE Toronto Committee structure was significantly updated in late 2022 as part of the Executive’s review and subsequent restructuring of the Executive Board and Committee structure.
If you are interested in participating in a ITE Toronto Section Committee, please reach out to either the Executive or a Committee Chair and provide a brief summary of your skillset and your area(s) of interest. For example, experience in event planning or as part of a Student Chapter Executive would be suitable for the Activities Committee and experience in visual design, social media, and email marketing would be suitable for the Communications Committee.
In addition to the below committees, a Membership & Engagement Committee is planned for 2025. It should also be noted that the ITE Toronto Section President is considered an ex officio member of all committees, except the Nominating Committee, as per Bylaw section 6.3.
The Activities Committee is focused on delivering engaging activities for the ITE Toronto Section membership. This committee replaces the previous executive role of Activities Coordinator. Activities the ITE Toronto Section facilitates includes webinars, in-person lectures, luncheons, tours, workshops, and networking events. Committee roles are as follows:
In addition to the Director roles, the Activities Committee is targeting a minimum of three general committee members to assist in event planning. Future additional committee roles, targeted for 2024, include a Professional Development Hours Coordinator and a YPT Liaison.
The Activities Committee Chair can be contacted at activities@toronto.itecanada.org.
The Awards Committee is focused on the various annual and one-off awards the ITE Toronto Section gives out annually, as well as coordinating/supporting submissions for relevant CITE and ITE awards. Committee roles are as follows:

The Communications Committee is focused on the various means of communication between the ITE Toronto Executive and its members.
