On behalf of the Council for Exceptional Children, we are pleased to provide  copy of the courtesy resolution recognizing the 50th anniversary of the Council for Children with Behavioral Disorders, which was passed during the Annual Meeting of the CEC Representative Assembly in National Harbor on April 28th, 2011.  A copy of this courtesy resolution has been posted on CEC’s Web site.

A courtesy resolution recognizes CEC members or units who have made significant contributions in furthering the leadership and accomplishments of the international organization on behalf of its membership and the field of special education. 

We applaud CCBD’s outstanding leadership and service to the education profession, dedication to ensuring the safety, dignity, and education of children with behavioral disorders, and the commitment to excellence as a division of the Council for Exceptional Children.  Your extraordinary leadership, dedication, and outstanding work has advanced the special education profession and its service to children and youth with exceptionalities and their families.  Thank you for all you have done for the Council and our profession. 

With best wishes for the next 50 years,
Bruce A. Ramirez, Executive Director
