We assemble a steering committee and advisory committees each year that include a wide range of interested parties from across BC. This enables diverse perspectives to be considered and represented when planning our annual Quality Forum.
Quality Forum 2025 Steering Committee
The steering committee provides guidance and advice at each stage of the planning process, including determining the most effective format and flow, identifying key topics and themes, selecting speakers and ensuring a positive participant experience.
