Introducing George W. Higgins, BC Safety Charter Director

The Steering Committee is happy to announce that it has engaged George Higgins as the Director of the BC Safety Charter.  George will transition the BCSC into its own entity under the societies act over the next three years, including a new governance and financing model.  The annual “BC Safety Charter Roundtable” will continue to be the signature event, but also expect to see other smaller events focused on specific issues including Accountability, Succession Planning and Recognition.  Over the next few months George will be actively reaching out to Charter Signatories to solidify both the membership and the value proposition.  Additionally, the BCSC will be using LinkedIn as a centralized place to post information, articles, results of forums and have conversations.  The LinkedIn page is restricted to Signatories only.
