[BCMA] BCMA Council Welcomes New Treasurer, HTA Coordinator

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello All,

There have been a few changes on the BCMA council the past few weeks.  The council has welcomed a new member - Jon Irwin, Executive Director of the Maritime Museum, who was appointed Treasurer at the beginning of February. The council is thrilled to have Jon's assistance and financial brain.  Jon is currently on an interim appointment until the next AGM in June (more on this event coming soon) when he will stand for election to a two year term.  Chris Mathieson has stepped down from the council but is still assisting BCMA and has taken the role of coordinator with the Heritage Tourism Alliance (HTA).  We very much appreciate Chris' time on the council and while he is not going far, he will be missed.

The BCMA Council is comprised of Leah Best, President, Peter Ord, Vice President, Kris Anderson, Past President, Jon Irwin, Treasurer, Deborah Hudson, Secretary, Dennis Oomen, David Alexander and Lillian Hunt.

A little bit more about Jon Irwin.
