How it works:
The BCPVPA represents its members and advocates for public education by working, in co-operation with our education partners, to influence and shape government education policies. We engage our members in the development of the BCPVPA's positions, and keep our members informed of our progress.
We tell the stories of our members to create an understanding of the critical challenges of school leaders in their increasingly complex roles, and we share these stories with government, our partner groups, community leaders, and the media.
Your BCPVPA membership includes:
- Employment relationship support
- Access to advice, guidance and support from staff
- Participation in professional development programs at member rates
- Advocacy with the BC Ministry of Education and Child Care
- BCPVPA Committee opportunities
- Weekly updates via BCPVPA eNews

The BCPVPA provides excellent professional development opportunities and resources, and offers support and guidance to members who require assistance in their employment relationships. The BCPVPA advocates for a strong public education system, and works with government and our sector partners including the BC School Superintendents’ Association (BCSSA), BC School Trustees Association (BCSTA), BC Association of School Business Officials (BCASBO), and BC Teachers Federation (BCTF), to nurture and enhance student success in BC, and to promote professional learning and leadership development in the sector. The BCPVPA is a member of working groups and committees, including those established by the Ministry of Education & Child Care, to help ensure that all sector perspectives are considered in government initiatives.
