Editors' Association Of Canada
The Editors' Association of Canada/Association canadienne des réviseurs (EAC) promotes professional editing as key in producing effective communication. The association has more than 1,600 members, both salaried and freelance, who work with individuals and organizations in the corporate, technical, government, not-for-profit and publishing sectors.
Six regional branches—British Columbia, the Prairie Provinces, Saskatchewan, Toronto, the National Capital Region and Quebec/Atlantic Canada—provide a range of local programming and services. Several smaller branches, or 'twigs', are also offering local services to EAC members.
EAC sponsors professional development seminars, promotes and maintains high standards of editing and publishing in Canada, establishes guidelines to help editors secure fair pay and good working conditions, helps both in-house and freelance editors to network, and cooperates with other publishing associations in areas of common concern.
The association is incorporated federally as a not-for-profit organization and is governed at the national level by an executive council.
