I

am happy to move forward into 2021.

Looking forward to some of my favourite things—seeing my family at birthday parties, going to concerts and plays, watching my daughter compete in synchronized swimming, cheering my son in basketball games, and going back to yoga classes . . . to name a few.

We look forward to sharing our Strategic Plan with you…

With the BC Notary Association (BCNA), I am excited to be a part of a dynamic team that includes the Board of Directors and our CEO and leader Chad Rintoul. Together we have invested time and energy to craft a multiyear Strategic Plan for the BCNA. Members had the opportunity to express their thoughts and opinions through an online survey. We took that input from our members and incorporated the ideas into our plan. As we look forward, the BCNA will continue to promote BC Notaries across the province, advocate the government to expand the scope of services for BC Notaries, and create opportunities for Notaries to learn from and connect with other Notaries.

We look forward to sharing our Strategic Plan with you as this year unfolds and to connecting with our members and peers in the upcoming events and workshops. s
