By this time, everyone should be thinking about folks you know that would make a great addition to the BC Board of Directors. Reach out to those people, and ask them if they would be interested in being nominated. We are really looking for a strong pool of nominees to select for candidacy and run for election in November.

We are excited to announce and offer a “Meet the BC Board” Webinar scheduled for 1 September at 1pm EDT. We have created this webinar as an opportunity for ANYONE to learn more about our organization, what the BC Board of Directors does, and who we are looking for to fill our soon-to-be vacant seats! Our current as well as some past Board members will be hosting the event, and are excited to interact with you and answer any questions you might have. We will be ready to divide our attendees into breakout rooms so that we can ensure small, more personable conversations, and that all of your questions get answered.
Please add this event to your calendars, and register to join us on Zoom using the following link:
