The Chambre de la sécurité financière (CSF) is currently seeking members or experts to contribute to its two advisory committees: the Professional Training and Development Committee (the CFDP) and the Regulatory Monitoring and Compliance of Practices Committee (the CVRCP).

These committees are set up by the CSF's Board of Directors to discuss certain issues and provide assistance in their decision-making process, in the interest of efficiency. Committees also study issues that fall within their mandates. The designated committee chairs report to the board on their work, make recommendations where appropriate, and support the CSF's management team.

The term of office for committee members is two years and is renewable. The committees are made up of two board directors and a maximum of nine industry members and professionals, as designated by the board. The CSF appoints a chair to lead the committee meetings among its leadership team.

Please note that the work of both committees is conducted in French.
