TPBC has signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the BCEDA to signal our joint intent to cooperate and collaborate in areas of common interest.
“This Agreement is a big plus for TPBC as it will most certainly lead to support for TPBC members whose career involves economic development, notably at various levels of government,” said TPBC CEO John Leech. “I welcome the opportunity to work with BCEDA President and CEO Dale Wheeldon. He is an exemplary leader who is delivering excellent benefits for his members.”
This MoA along with others TPBC has signed, and with more to come, is part of building the foundations of the Association. TPBC is setting the stage for areas of cooperation and collaboration as TPBC takes on an active role in advocacy and providing services for individual as well as business and NGO members.
“BCEDA is thrilled to formalize this partnership through the signing of this MOU. This agreement represents a significant step forward in our commitment to fostering economic growth and resilience across British Columbia, said BCEDA President and CEO, Dale Wheeldon. “By working collaboratively with TPBC, we can leverage our collective strengths to drive sustainable development and create new opportunities for businesses and communities throughout the Province.”
Notably the MoA says the two associations will:
- cooperate in tracking education and career trends,
- cooperate in promoting education and careers,
- collaborate in influencing funding and marketing of education and training programming,
- collaborate in offering continuing professional development to its members,
- share information on benefits and services of interest to its members and, where practical, collaborate in the development and delivery of services,
- support each others’ special events such as Annual General Meetings and awards programs and the BC Economic Summit
- cooperate in matters of interest to the members of one or both organizations, and,
- liaise on matters affecting services by its members, to the benefit of its members and the public.
