Committees are essential to the work of the BCxA. They allow for focused attention on specific areas of the industry, such as advocacy, best practices, member services, education, or events. Members with relevant expertise can provide valuable insights and guidance, ensuring that the Association’s initiatives are well-informed and effective. By joining a committee, you have a direct role in shaping the direction of the association and industry. Our committees allow the association to tackle multiple projects simultaneously. The BCxA committees provide structure, expertise, and focus, ensuring we can effectively serve our members, advocate for industry needs, and manage our activities efficiently.

At our recent Leadership Summit, our Committee Chairs reported their goals for the year and areas where they can use help. Are you ready to take the leap and help shape the association and profession?
