GBMH Summit 2024 Event Planning and Management

The BC Hospice Palliative Care Association is seeking a team of learners to plan, design, and produce the GBMH Summit 2024. The goal of this project is to manage all aspects of the event, ensuring it is delivered efficiently and within time limits. This includes overseeing both operational and administrative functions to guarantee a seamless execution. The project provides an opportunity for learners to apply their classroom knowledge in event planning, project management, and administrative coordination. Tasks will include venue selection, scheduling, vendor coordination, marketing, and attendee management. The successful completion of this project will result in a well-organized and impactful summit that meets the association's objectives.

Marketing and Communications Coordinator

BC Hospice Palliative Care Association is a not-for-profit, public membership organization, which has been representing individuals and organizations committed to promoting and delivering hospice/palliative care to British Columbians since 1986. We are focused on Advocacy, Education, Membership Support and Public Awareness. We are currently planning our triennial Grief, Bereavement and Mental Health Summit 2024 (GBMH), now in its second iteration. Previously held virtually, this year's Summit will mark a transition to an in-person format, reflecting our commitment to fostering meaningful dialogue and collaboration in the field of grief and bereavement. The Summit will continue its exploration of the metamorphosis of grief and bereavement, particularly in light of the ongoing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and our collective journey towards recovery and integration. Through insightful discussions and shared experiences, we aim to delve deeper into the evolving landscape through more examination of research, and best practices.  We are looking for a few go-getter students to help us with the planning process of this event. It is an opportunity for students to develop soft skills such as communication, planning and problem solving. You will be working most closely with our event coordinator, Lillian Chen.

Website Development

We want a new website for our organization that integrates with our membership database. We aren’t sure which platform we would like for it to be built on, but we have an idea of what we would like it to do. We would like to work with students to build and design a public- and member-facing website. Students should be prepared to: Conduct a needs analysis to determine which platform is most suitable for integration Build a fully-functioning website. Provide training on updating and maintaining the site.
