BCLMA President's Report
Message From the Board
It’s been a busy fall season! Marketing, Finance, Litigation Technology & eDiscovery and Human Resources Subsection organized great presentations. In addition, BCLMA held an educational event titled “30 Leadership Tips in 60 minutes” with Debbie Foster and our Annual Managing Partner Luncheon featuring Todd Hirsch “Economic Trends and Challenges”. Fortunately, we were able to offer both events virtually as well.
The Board met for our annual planning meeting in November to review our strategic plan, to review 2023 and plan 2024. We’re excited about next year.
Our annual Winter Social held on November 16th was a reception at the Sutton Place Hotel. Always a popular event, we had 200 members attend. Make sure to check out the photos in this issue. Thank you to our business partners who with out their support, we couldn’t have held such a fun event.
2024 is the year for our biennial conference April 18 & 19 at the Vancouver Convention Centre. Check out www.bclmaconference.com for the program and registration. Register before December 29 and save! Our conference chair, Lorraine Burchynsky’s, has a great article in this issue about the conference.
And finally, on behalf of the Board of Directors and all the BCLMA members we’d like to thank all the Subsection Chairs, Co-Chairs and Committee Members for their time and commitment to the Association. Your dedication is the reason the BCLMA can offer professional development and value to all our members. This is the time of year we’re looking for volunteers for many positions. Please contact your subsection chair or info@bclma.org if you’re interested or want to hear more about what’s involved.
Our 2024 Annual General Meeting will be held at during the conference on April 19, 2024. If you have not attended an AGM in past, we would love it if you would come for breakfast and join us.
All the best of the season to you and wishing you a safe and happy new year.
BCLMA Board of Directors
