Upcoming Events
AEBC UBC Sauder Business Student Project
AEBC has engaged students from the UBC Sauder School of Business to help us strengthen our volunteer recruitment and retention. Over the next few months, the students will examine how we recruit, engage, retain, and support members and volunteers, and how we can build stronger pathways into future leadership roles. As part of this work, they will reach out soon through surveys and other consultation activities.
We encourage all AEBC members and supporters to participate. Your experience and ideas will help shape practical recommendations for how AEBC can grow participation and strengthen volunteer involvement in the years ahead.
