Discover meaningful ways to stay active, give back, and earn points toward recertification

During National Volunteer Week, we want to take a moment to thank you for everything you contribute to our community, our profession, and our network. Your dedication to remaining active and advancing our profession through certification is an essential part of what makes our region so vibrant and strong.

Whether you judged awards at the local, national, or international level, served on a board, mentored an emerging professional, or contributed in countless other ways—you embody the spirit of leadership, service, and excellence. On behalf of the IABC Canada West Region and all our chapter boards, thank you for the passion, time, and expertise you share so generously.

As our regional and chapter boards prepare for the next board year (starting July 1), now is a perfect time to consider how you might continue to lead and inspire. Several exciting volunteer opportunities are open right now:
