BCODN

Committees

So how do we help you “create remarkable experiences”?

We ask questions. We listen to your feedback and suggestions. We work with you.

Like BCODN, our working committees are chaired by the BCODN board members you’ve elected.  Together, we strive to provide educational and networking opportunities that grow the OD practice in BC.

We’re always looking for volunteers. If you’re a member, and you’re interested, please e-mail us at info@bcodn.org and let us know how you’d like to work with us.
