Strengthening our Foundations Vision Statement: Canada – a global leader in international education Mission Statement: CBIE is the national voice promoting Canadian international education on behalf of members by mobilizing expertise, knowledge, opportunity and leadership
Values CBIE’s vision is underpinned by a set of core values held in common with our member institutions, including quality, equity, inclusion and partnership and the following mission-specific values: • Global-mindedness • Sustainable Practice • Innovative Action • Entrepreneurial Spirit • Informed Advocacy
Organizational Principles • Engagement • Transparency • Effectiveness • Entrepreneurialism • Cooperation
Value Proposition • CBIE’s Value Proposition can be summarized by four words, which represent that which CBIE should seek to catalyze in the field of international education, and that which CBIE should embody as an organization: “Expertise. Knowledge. Opportunity. Leadership.” These desired outcomes actually form a virtuous circle: they build upon and inform one another. • To make these four pillars of outcomes come alive, the Membership Task Force has recommended that CBIE build its operational plan upon this value proposition.
