L
ast year, more than 1,600 members, candidates, and students attended CPABC’s Member
Engagement Tour (MET), which consisted of 21 events held across BC. At the time of
this writing, planning is underway for the upcoming MET, which will take place from
October 3 through November 29.
The MET is an opportunity for members, candidates, and students to connect with the senior
leadership of CPABC. This year’s roster will include CPABC chair Dave Hallinan, FCPA,
FCMA, and other members of CPABC’s executive committee, as well as CPABC president &
CEO Richard Rees, FCPA, FCA, and other senior staff members.
MET events are coordinated by the CPABC chapters across BC, and dates will be published on
chapter websites and calendars, which can be found at bccpa.ca/members/cpabc-chapters.
Also, be sure to watch for chapter emails, which will provide links for registration. MET dates
will be announced by early fall.
In addition to organizing the MET events, the chapters are also holding various professional
development, networking, and community outreach events. Here’s a short list of some of the
events that have been announced thus far (with many more to come):
• The Burnaby/New Westminster Chapter will be hosting a PD session on business writing
and social media on Saturday, September 17.
• The Vancouver Chapter has two PD offerings coming up – a session on leadership for
introverts on Tuesday, September 22, and a technology update on Saturday, October 15.
• The Richmond/South Delta Chapter will be hosting two PD sessions on September 24 –
one on BC’s economic outlook and the other on building productive business
relationships.
• In collaboration with the Vancouver Chapter, CPABC will be hosting a BC Lions Game
Night on Friday, October 14, at BC Place Stadium (watch the Lions crush the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers!).

Conference Day on November 3.
