On behalf of all the Directors of Board Voice, we would like to wish you a very happy 2025. May this new year, be one of success and prosperity for you and your organizations.
To our new members, welcome to the Board Voice family. To our returning members, we thank you for your loyalty. We greatly value our relationship with you and are thankful for your support to our organization. We appreciate the trust and confidence you have placed in us, and we commit to continuously advocating for services that best help your needs.
Over the next couple of months, board members of Board Voice will be reaching out to your Executive Directors and a Board representative to hear about the challenges facing your organization and your community. We look forward to hearing and listening to your top-of-mind issues. This outreach provides valuable information on our members priorities and helps focus our advocacy efforts. To illustrate… many members asked us to encourage government to expand its supports for seniors’ services from primarily a ‘health lens’ to a greater ‘social services/social development/anti-poverty’ lens. In response, we met with some of our members a couple of times and are now working together to draft an action plan. As always, we welcome your feedback and suggestions on how we can continue to best serve you. We look forward to continue supporting your organizations in the way you need.
Wishing all of you a successful 2025.
Louella Mathias & Ernie Freeman
Co-Chairs, Board Voice Society of BC
