*BCMA bids farewell to Executive Director*

BCMA would like to announce that Erica Mattson, who has served as BCMA’s
Executive Director since September 2016, will be departing the role early
next month. Theresa Mackay, who was Erica’s predecessor in the role, will
be joining the organization as interim Executive Director beginning July 8,
2019 while BCMA completes a search for a new Executive Director.

As the President of the Board, I would like to thank Erica Mattson for her
exceptional stewardship of the organization. Under Erica’s leadership, the
BCMA has developed critical new relationships, enhanced our services to
members, and has been in a position to deliver much needed funding and
support to the cultural sector in B.C. In particular, I would like to
acknowledge Erica’s work to initiate the Indigenous Advisory Committee,
support the GLAM partnership and annual symposium, the launch of the
mentorship program and podcast series, and her oversight of the B.C. |
Canada 150 Legacy Program in partnership with the Province of British
Columbia delivering $7.6 million in grants for cultural heritage projects
across the province.

“It’s been an honour to serve B.C.’s museums and cultural community during
my time with the BC Museums Association,” says Erica. “My favourite part of
the job has always been my interactions with BCMA members, and I want to
thank everyone who took the time to tour me through their institutions and
share ideas about how to support museums in B.C. I’m grateful to have had
the opportunity to work with so many passionate people across B.C., as well
as in other parts of Canada and internationally, all dedicated to
supporting museums, galleries, cultural centres and historic sites and
developing arts, culture and heritage.”

BCMA is now accepting applications for the Executive Director role.
