The organization was created in 2011 and has continued on due to the epic effort of some people. This page recognizes those efforts and will grow as the community identifies others for their unique and substantial contribution to the Instructional Design profession in Canada in the categories listed below.

Wendy has worked in the background for many years managing and integrating all the technology used to maintain the association’s website and deliver its services. The requirement for members to continue their professional education on an annual basis and the regular offering of free workshops secured her commitment early. Her countless hours of volunteer work, including instructing three master classes, have enabled ACCP-CAID to continue operating.
