The Volunteer BCMEA Conference Team

The BCMEA Conference continues to be one of the most successful annual professional development events in British Columbia. This is most certainly due to the incredible team of volunteer BC Music Educators who work to make it happen.
These volunteers are not professional conference planners but rather are educators who are devoted to their students, programs, craft, and families. They all share the belief that strong and diversified professional development is a necessity in British Columbia and hence work in their own "free time" to prepare this annual event. 

Please take a moment to thank these colleagues when you see them at the Conference site.

If you have ideas for the BCMEA Conference and are interested in volunteering, please let us know via the contact form below. We would love to welcome new members to the team!
