The Electoral Area Directors’ Forum will be held on February 6 and 7 at the Radisson Vancouver Airport Hotel in Richmond, BC. Registration is now open.
The Forum provides an opportunity to explore challenges common to electoral areas and identify potential solutions. The conference is open to electoral area directors and their alternates, regional district chairs, and regional district staff.
Due to a change in scheduling by the Local Government Leadership Academy, this year’s EA Forum will not be held in combination with their event.
The cost for the Forum is $199, which includes lunch and a reception on February 6, and breakfast on February 7.
