*What is the IBPOC Museum Professionals Network?*

The BCMA Mentorship Program delivers mentorship opportunities and career
development resources to students and emerging professionals in BC’s arts,
culture and heritage sector. This year, the BCMA will expand this program
by introducing a new network that will provide targeted support for
Indigenous, Black, and People of Colour (IBPOC).

Responding to the immediate needs identified by racially marginalized
museum workers, the new IBPOC Museum Professionals Network will enable
access to practical resources, professional development, networking
opportunities, and peer support.

*What are we looking for? *

BCMA encourages proposals from diverse individuals and groups from anywhere
in BC that are interested in building connections and supporting diversity
in museums. All details can be found here
