Governance Professionals of Canada (GPC)’s Post

Reflecting on a Remarkable Year at BPCC! 🇬🇧🇵🇹 Yesterday, we held our AGM at BPCC - British Portuguese Chamber of Commerce, reflecting on our achievements and key milestones from the past year. Despite navigating the challenges of rising inflation, high interest rates and the lingering effects of COVID-19, we successfully hosted 60 diverse events, averaging more than one per week. These events included business networking events, brainstorming lunches, business breakfasts, webinars, training sessions, lunch debates, trade missions, trade fairs, and workshops, encompassing all regions of the country. Highlights included the Future of Cities Summit, which has become a hallmark event, and numerous high-profile debates, showcasing our commitment to fostering dialogue on crucial topics. Our adaptability and resilience were on full display as we expanded our digital presence, launched a podcast page for members, and engaged in successful trade missions and international events. We also celebrated the spirit of community through events like the Annual Summer Garden Party, BPCC's Gala Dinner or our Corporate Lunch. As we look ahead, we extend our heartfelt thanks to all our loyal members, Directors, and the dedicated BPCC team. Together, we will continue to embrace challenges and seize opportunities, fostering growth and success for all our members! #BPCC #UKPortugalTrade #BusinessGrowth #AnnualMeeting #ChamberSuccess

As I enter the role of Past Chair of IABC CER, I thought a timely reflection was warranted. While some elements as Chair are certain, like the role and responsibilities, in many ways I think the role is a bit of an exciting mystery. You know. It’s like the surprise ending from your favourite British spy movie or maybe an ever-enticing mystery novel. It’s that turn of the page, the “whodunit,” and the exhilaration of figuring out the answers before the ending. But answers take time. 365 days ago, when I was first elected as Chair, there were three things I wanted to accomplish. I wanted our Board of Directors to be innovative, collaborative and caring through our mutual connection. With the new, mid-year Achievement Report, we collectively delivered a brand new communication touch point. With the inaugural CER Leadership Series, a national speaking opportunity, for the very first time, CER executed a new sustainable revenue generator to directly support the development of our Chapter leaders. We turned the corner as collaborators with a new shared regional Professional Development calendar and a real openness to supporting each Chapter through best practices and resources. Remember those "ACTION" emails? Of course, there were hiccoughs along the way, and that’s the mystery part. You never knew what change might happen with the transformation of our association globally, and locally. The team learned to roll with it and help each other. That’s the caring part. I’m incredibly proud of this past Board for taking a chance of allowing me to push innovation as far as we could while maintaining a true sense of community. Maybe that’s the mystery of leadership? If you follow the clues, follow your instincts, and follow your heart, the team will come together to create a tremendous ending. Mystery solved.
