TPBC Business Affiliate Member
The amended Professional Governance Act has introduced a new era of professional regulation for many professions, including technology professionals. In addition to the Professional Regulator it is common to have one or more organizations advocating for the profession and professionals. The revised PGA (November 2023) defines a ‘professional organization’ as “a corporation that (a) acts as an advocate for persons who practice a profession; and (b) is not a professional regulator”. Technology Professions BC Association (TPBC) was incorporated as a Society under the Society Act to serve as a ‘professional organization’.
TPBC encourages businesses to actively support and assist TPBC as it builds capacity as a new enterprise advocating for, and providing services to, technology professionals. Businesses will benefit from joining.
