BCAHA Spring Conference in Penticton

Tim Sader,
Editor, Auxiliary Action, BCAHA


Listen, Learn and Lead” is the engaging theme for April’s Leadership Forum & AGM in Penticton.  BCAHA’s VP, Vicky Forest, and her planning team have put together a first-rate program of speakers, topics and activities.  To those lucky attendees, I’ll add a few more L’s:  “Lakeside” is its lovely location; “Lively” is the vibe you will feel; and “Like,” we hope, will be your thumbs-up reaction.  We look forward to seeing you there!
