Peer Review Panel
Panel Mandate
The Peer Review Panel is responsible to the Provisional Standards Council for making decisions on accreditation under the Standards Program.
Peer review is an essential element of the Standards Program, contributing to the rigour and credibility of the accreditation process. Peer reviewers are required to sign confidentiality and conflict of interest agreements before they are given access to applications.
Membership
Members of the Peer Review Panel must be recommended by the Board Chair or most senior staff person (i.e., ED/CEO) of a Canadian charity or nonprofit.
Peer Reviewers
Imagine Canada is very pleased to have an experienced and skilled group of sector colleagues participating in the Program as peer reviewers.
