January 2005
ACCREDITATION VOTE CARRIED IN ALL STATES
Members of all state and territory societies of editors have voted in favour of the introduction of accreditation for Australian editors.
A secret ballot on the scheme developed by the CASE Accreditation Working Group and accepted by CASE was held during late November-early December 2004.
Some 400 (29%) of the almost 1400 society members eligible to cast a vote did so. The vote to adopt the accreditation proposal was carried nationally by 307 votes to 91; that is, for every vote against the proposal, there were 3.4 votes in favour of it.
Since the members' vote was overwhelmingly in favour of the proposal, CASE is now seeking the endorsement of the executive committees of all state and territory societies to proceed forthwith towards implementing a national accreditation program.
CASE will be meeting in Melbourne on 12-13 February to discuss this and other matters, and we will keep members informed of progress.
