We are hoping to have Dr. Leigh Quesnel speak at our AGM this Fall on the topic of managing change in our profession but we would only need him to present in the a.m.

We are looking to find another organization who could use his services for the afternoon so we could split his speaker fee between us. 

If you google his name or HCQ Consulting you will be able to find out information about him and what he can provide and he comes well recommended.  If you know of anybody who might be interested in having him come and speak to their group the afternoon of September 30^th, please contact Sheila Kennedy at education@bctra.org.

Many thanks!

At the November 4^th, 2012 AGM BCTRA announced that it was looking to make changes to the Education Grant. The work has been completed and BCTRA would like to announce that we have now increased the number of grants and the amount of money available.  There will now be ten grants available for professional development and three student grants for a total of 13 education grants. Each grant is worth up to $ 400.00.  There will be three opportunities a year in which to apply for one of education grants. The first set of grants will be awarded October of this year.

Please see the attached document for more information.
