<p class="gmail-mb-3">The BC Museums Association (BCMA) is a province-wide
network of more than 450 members representing museums, galleries,
heritage sites, Indigenous cultural centres, and more. Since 2016 the
BCMA has followed a core strategic plan while making small, annual
iterations to reflect our members’ evolving needs.</p>
<p class="gmail-mb-3">The current strategic plan has supported tremendous
growth and evolution for the BCMA over the past 6 years, but at the same
time as both the BCMA and the museum and cultural heritage sector
continue to grow and evolve, the world of 2016 feels increasingly
removed from the world of 2022.</p>
<p class="gmail-mb-3">We are requesting submissions of interest from strategic
planning consultants to help the BCMA develop a new path forward, one
that reflects on the challenges and opportunities facing both our
organization and the museum sector, and charts a bold vision for a
bright future.<br><br>
<b>Who We Are Looking For</b>

BCMA is looking to work with innovative consultants who have a deep
passion for museums, galleries, and cultural institutions, an
understanding of BC’s arts, culture, and heritage sector, and a
commitment to furthering reconciliation, justice, equity, diversity, and
inclusion. We strive to develop a bold vision for the future of BCMA
that innovates upon our past and status quo and creates a new paradigm
for Canadian arts, culture, and heritage service organizations.</p>

Expressions of interest from consultants and/or organizations with
knowledge of the history of Canada’s arts, culture, and heritage sector
and experience supporting reconciliation, social justice, and equity
will be given priority.<br><br></p><p class="gmail-mb-3"><b>For the full post and more information on the scope of work and funding available, please follow this link <a href="https://museum.bc.ca/rei-bcma-strategic-planning/">https://museum.bc.ca/rei-bcma-strategic-planning/</a></b><br></p></div></div></div></div></div>

encourage interested parties to submit their expression of interest by
May 10, 2022.
