BCACL Board of Directors

The Board of Directors guides the work of BC Association for Community Living. Our mission, vision, social policies, goals and objectives are all developed under the leadership of this dedicated group of volunteers.

The Board is made up of up to 13 directors. Ten are elected by voting members at an Annual General Meeting in June. Of those ten, four must represent each of the four regions of the province and two must be people with developmental disabilities. One additional member is appointed by the BC Self Advocacy Caucus. There are no requirements for how many family members sit on the board. However, family members play an active role in the organization and generally make up a majority of the board.
