BC TEAL Conference 2021

BC TEAL is excited to welcome you to our first ever virtual conference happening on two weekends - April 16-17 & 23-24.

As you may know, last year's conference was a joint event between BC TEAL and The Image Conference. BC TEAL and The Image Conference have reached an agreement not to hold a joint online conference for 2021. This is the best decision for both organizations. The conference will contain an “Image in EAL” stream on April 16th and 17th.

BC TEAL thanks The Image Conference for their help in getting the conference to this point and wishes them well as they continue to build on the tradition of excellence their community is known for.

We look forward to seeing you all online at Image & Inspiration 2021. Visit the conference site and register at - https://pheedloop.com/BCTEAL2021/site/home/

Sincerely,
Cindi Jones
President, BC TEAL

Come find out about the benefits of volunteering. From the personal satisfaction to your CV, there are many reasons why you would want to find a leadership position with BC TEAL.

Taking the first step to get involved is sometimes the hardest part. This webinar will give you the chance to hear about all the benefits and opportunities without making a commitment. After a short presentation, there will be lots of time to ask questions.

The presenter, Jenn Peachey, has volunteered with BC TEAL in many ways over the years. She is retired but still contributes on the board as the Secretary, Chair of the Membership Committee, and acting Chair of the Social Media Committee. Jenn can also tell you about presenting at conferences, being a regional representative, writing blogs, and writing in the TEAL News, all from first-hand experience.
