[BCMA] IBPOC In-Person Tea and Talks Are Back!

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

Our 2025 IBPOC Tea and Talk Road Map is here! You can now find it on the
BCMA website
<https://museum.bc.ca/networking-mentorship/bcma-networks/ibpoc-museum-professionals-network/ibpoc-tea-talk/?cm=4&cy=2025>
.

Thank you for your support for last year’s IBPOC Network
<https://museum.bc.ca/networking-mentorship/bcma-networks/ibpoc-museum-professionals-network/?cm=4&cy=2025>
programming, and for your patience as we finalized this year's plans.

As many of you know, this is a tough time for funding in the arts and
culture sector. Due to this and staffing changes, we're currently facing
reduced capacity. We deeply value the opportunities for in person
connection, and are still committed to gathering together and building peer
support networks with you all.

Tea and Talk On The Road returns in May 2025; we’ll be travelling to 4
locations across BC this year (*Victoria, Kelowna, Surrey, and Coquitlam*).
Monthly online Tea and Talks
<https://museum.bc.ca/networking-mentorship/bcma-networks/ibpoc-museum-professionals-network/ibpoc-tea-talk/?cm=4&cy=2025>
 will also continue as usual.

Please also check out the IBPOC Network homepage for other network
programming including Beyond the Margins: Networks Book and Media Club
<https://members.museum.bc.ca/public/event/details/ea8e9cecd4d2cc171f2f65fdcdfeeb13dfa26319/1>,
and Cultivating Careers
<https://museum.bc.ca/brain/ibpoc-network-cultivating-careers-series/>.

We had hoped to include more in person locations, as so many of our members
generously offered to host for free! Thank you again for the continued
support. We truly couldn’t do any of this without you!
