What volunteer roles qualify for CPLD credit – am I restricted to serving as treasurer? Would my coaching role with a sports team count?
CMA Canada – British Columbia encourages members to gain professionally relevant volunteer experience while actively contributing to their community agency of choice. This includes service as a board member, service as a volunteer in a relevant leadership role (e.g. programs, or a special task force), or in a financial function. If you are performing a coaching role with a sports organization, this would count for CPLD credit so long as you are engaged as the lead coach, and are simultaneously pursuing active learning about enhancing your coaching role (for example, taking a coaching certification through the sports program you are serving). Generally speaking, coaching of a regular “little league” team will not count. Coaching of “special needs” teams may count. All volunteer Board work related to sport leagues will count.
