Associate Organizations are those organizations that meet most of the criteria and admission requirements set by the Board of Directors, subscribe to the objectives of the Corporation, pay the membership dues, and are admitted by a resolution of the Board of Directors as an Associate Organization. Associate Organizations are not eligible to designate any person to be a director of the Corporation but may attend general forums of the Corporation and are entitled to designate one person to vote at Annual and Special Meetings of Members of the Corporation. Normally, travel cost reimbursement that would be paid to Full members will not be paid to Associate members.
Centre for Justice. Exchange
The Centre for Justice Exchange is a collective of academics, students, and volunteers who seek to create more collaborative understandings and practices of justice. Unlike our current punitive model of justice that individualizes and segregates people, we believe that safety and accountability is a collective concern whereby everyone should have access to resources, supports and information that help improve our wellbeing as well as opportunities to learn, grow and create. We imagine and realize such an approach to justice through the 1) sharing of resources and information, 2) constellations of support and 3) raising awareness and public education.
Part of our commitment in this approach is to ensure that those with the lived expertise and experiences are central to our work and growth. This includes those who have experienced all kinds of social harms and violence and who often have little or no access to mainstream systems of justice, including people in and out of prison. This work includes providing research on the criminal justice system, sharing information on community and legal supports and resources, collaborating on writing and advocacy projects, providing consultations and writing letters of support, among other things.
