POC BC

BC Chapter History

The BC Chapter of POC, founded in 2003, is strong on enthusiasm, has passion for organizing as a profession, and is committed to furnishing the educational tools to ensure members' success.

BC Chapter Boundaries

The B.C Chapter covers the Lower Mainland of Vancouver where the majority of the members reside. We have additional members in the interior of BC.

BC Chapter Goals

• Foster a welcoming environment for networking and information sharing
• Supply access to local resources that support our work with clients
• Provide an educational forum where both experienced and novice organizers can learn to develop strong businesses
• Develop community awareness of the benefits of employing professional organizers

BC Chapter Monthly Meetings

Our meetings are well-attended due to the quality of the programs and presenters. Not only do we bring in outside speakers but we utilize the talent within our organization to facilitate round-tables that promote member participation. We also plan visits to local suppliers and host 2 social events per year. In 2007, the chapter hosted the first National POC conference to be held in Western Canada

Regular Chapter Meeting Agenda

Our meetings run for 2 hours and 30 minutes on the 3rd Tuesday of the month, starting at 6:30 PM. We begin each meeting with a half hour of networking, followed by chapter business, committee reports and announcements. The meetings conclude with our guest speakers. We welcome members and guests.
