BCFPA Operations Committee
The BCFPA Operations Committee is designed to provide a forum for operations focused members through group interaction and speakers on topics of interest to the group. Call (604-871-0190) or email Donna for more information on the committee and the meeting schedule.
Meeting Format
Monthly meetings of participants for roundtable discussion and experiences shared that can benefit members. Additionally, where possible a plant tour in the host facility will be offered. The goal is for the BCFPA to provide member companies with learning opportunities across a broad range of operations focused topics through presentations made by specialists in the identified areas of interest.
Both members and prospective members are welcome to attend.
There will be a roundtable with participants on common issues. It may just be the most interesting two hours you will spend all month!
RSVP to Donna at BCFPA 604-871-0190 or reply TODAY to donna.brendon@bcfpa.ca - we have limited space.
