Speech and Hearing BC’s success relies on our members’ volunteer activities. Please consider contributing to the professions while experiencing benefits such as:

  • Making new connections and valuable relationships to fellow members
  • Honing your leadership skills
  • Influencing what happens in Speech and Hearing BC
  • Learning about the professions and their role in providing services to the people of BC
  • Feeling part of something that can make a difference.

There are many ways to get involved:

Provincial Council

Become a member of the governing body of the Association. Members are nominated at the Annual General Meeting (AGM) at the Speech and Hearing BC Conference in October. Make a difference by working with other members on strategic issues that determine the current and future focus of the Association.

Join a Committee

Committees comprise members from varied backgrounds who work as a team to achieve specific goals.

Join or Start a Working Group

Occasionally a working group is formed to complete a specific goal approved by Provincial Council. The group disbands once the goal is achieved. Members are also involved in committees and working groups external to Speech and Hearing BC, including the Pan Canadian Alliance and the Paediatric Advisory Group.
