- Providing support to our membership generally and more specifically through a Regional Liaison Program, Committees, Working Groups and other programs;
- Working closely with the Executive Director to deliver against approved planning as well as objectives and overall direction;
- Developing, maintaining and approving governance policies;
- Ensuring that continual improvement is an ongoing practice; and
- Most importantly, being advocates for the game of soccer.
BC Soccer’s Regional Liaison Program
REGIONAL LIAISON PROGRAM
BC Soccer is committed to operating in a collaborative manner with its membership and affiliated organizations. To support this, BC Soccer established the Regional Liaison Program. The liaisons are points of contact for members and affiliated organizations to have informal communication with BC Soccer to provide equal opportunity for members to provide feedback to BC Soccer.
The main purpose of establishing this program is to act as a conduct between BC Soccer board and the members in the region for activity outside the work of BC Soccer staff. Regional Liaisons are assigned annually by the end of December.
