BC CEO Network | Connecting CEO's in British Columbia

Pandemic Response – COVID-19

Thank you for visiting the BC CEO Network website!

Our network of agency leaders has a clear set of purposes:

To facilitate a collective voice
To promote effective business practices
To promote leadership development and mutual support

As an organization that is led by CEOs from across the province, we strive to meet our mandate as set out above. This can take many forms from the information shared at our Leadership Forums, the development opportunities offered through our Professional Development days and our day-to-day interactions with our members. We continue to work toward open communication with our funders and with government and hold regular Executive Committee Meetings with CLBC. The agenda items for these meetings are brought forward from concerns we hear directly from you.

In the past months we continue to be active participants at the Social Services Sector Roundtable chaired by Minister Simpson. Our representatives at that table are Karyn Santiago and Brenda Gillette. The Re-Imagining Community Living work continues with the recent development of a Steering Committee; our CEO, Brenda Gillette, is our representative for that ongoing work. We were also recently invited to be present at the Budget Lock-Up and were able to hear the budget 2020/21 delivered by Minister Carol James firsthand and share that information to our members. A January 2020 highlight was an invitation to present to the CLBC Board of Directors.

We continue to monitor progress on our Strategic Plan, taking time to review the five themes during Board meetings to ensure our ongoing work is aligned with the plan. We will be calling on members to assist us as we work toward these goals.

Member input is vital to ensuring a strong and healthy organization. I encourage your comments, inquiries and recommendations. Please contact me at brenda@bcceonetwork.ca.

Meetings for April 30/May 1 have been cancelled due to the COVID-19 crisis.
