    How to Apply (applications closed)

    CSAE is endeavouring to improve its processes to remove barriers to applicants and increase inclusion and accessibility. With this in view, the following changes are being piloted as part of the application process this year:

    • There are multiple format options available for applying. Applicants can provide submissions in writing, via audio or video recording. Those who prefer to have support completing the application may reach out to CSAE for direct assistance.
    • The concept of “experience” relative to the needs of the committee are being expanded, to better consider the value of an applicant’s lived experience.

    These changes are a work in progress. They will be evaluated and future adjustments may be made with an eye to continuous improvement.

    Process for PD advisory group applicants: Complete the application form.

    If you would like to submit a video recording instead of filling out the application form, please reach out to carrie@csae.com.
