In order to be consistent with the ED Caucus national goals when we formalize in Ontario, we thought it best to post the EDC phrasing here:


 * [|By-Law Aims]**
 * 1. || To strengthen the position of STLHE as the professional/academic organization of choice for educational developers, and particularly for those practicing in Canada. ||
 * 2. || To pursue the aims of STLHE with particular attention to their application in educational development contexts. ||
 * 3. || To provide leadership in the professionalization of the educational development role. ||
 * 4. || To foster the advancement and evolution of educational development as a field of practice and scholarship. ||
 * 5. || To create a national forum where emerging and problematic educational development issues can be candidly discussed. ||
 * 6. || To create a collegial network within which information, strategies, and resources can be shared. ||
 * 7. || To facilitate communication among educational developers who are members of STLHE. ||
 * 8. || To provide professional development opportunities for experienced, new and potential educational developers. ||
 * 9. || To advocate, through STLHE, for educational development issues at a national level. ||

The EDC defines itself as a community of practice. Invited to join are members-in-good-standing of STLHE, who have current, former or imminent responsibility for planning, organizing, or delivery of educational development programmes or activities within a post-secondary institution, and who support the [|aims of the Caucus].
