The BCMA is honoured to host internationally acclaimed anthropologist,

inspiration for this year's regional workshops. The theme is the 
museum's role in exploring the people and places that make the sacred

different BC regions. Lunch included.

Workshop 3 ("BCMA & Enterprising Non-profits : The Way

Archives, Kitimat. Following the BCMA's AGM, delegates are invited to 
contribute ideas towards building a sustainable and enterprising model 
for museums, galleries and archives to work towards, ensuring long-term 
operational health. Key objectives include engaging in the knowledge and 
information sectors of the economy and creating innovative partnerships 
in the community. Lunch included.

The BC Museums Association is exploring how museums, art galleries and 
archives can become key stakeholders in discussions around regional 
identity. Beginning this year, the BCMA will travel to different regions 
in the province to host the annual general meeting and to provide tools 
for members and partners to become active promoters of regional identity 
and place.
