I think that Candidate Members should be able to put on their resume under
professional associations that they are Candidate Members of CIPS Ontario,
but that there should be no letters indicating this following one's name on
business cards, etc.  Such letters would imply some form of designation and
for Candidate Members no such designation has been conferred.
