Major Projects
BCE Projects
This year, BCE had a reset and we workshopped what and how we wanted to function moving forward. After a survey of all members and a facilitated workshop, we agreed to a revised format for our meetings and also identified 5 priority projects to move forward with. Each of these projects were then allocated a champion. Below is the 5 year plan we developed showing each of these 5 Projects.
