Jason Powell, dean of Humber's School of Health Sciences, has been appointed to the council of the College of Early Childhood Educators. The 24-member council governs the college, which regulates and certifies early childhood educators in Ontario.

The council consists of 14 members of the college who are elected by other members, and 10 members who are appointed by the Lieutenant Governor-in-Council.

“Over the past several years Jason has been an excellent advocate for our own registered Early Childhood Educators, and I am confident that he will represent our profession in a way that will make us all proud,” says Bridge Woodcock, the director of Humber's child care centres and a registered ECE. “I am very pleased that he will be a voice at the table.”
