Our sincere thanks and appreciation go out to the members who served on the BCPVPA’s 2023-2024 Board of Directors. The board is comprised of practicing principals and vice-principals who work at both the school and district level. The 2024-2025 Board will continue to guide the BCPVPA under our 2023-2026 Strategic Plan, providing advocacy, representation, and professional development support for our 2,700 members employed as Principals, Vice-Principals, District Principals and Vice-Principals, and Directors of Instruction in BC’s sixty school districts.

The Board looks forward to our continued work with the Ministry of Education and Child Care, along with our many education sector partners, to ensure that every BC student can reach their individual potential and thrive in safe and caring school communities.
