Recent progress on the PNWER Summit!

 
Please join us at a planning meeting for the PNWER 2014 Annual Summit in Whistler. The meeting will be held on Friday,
April 11th from
12:30pm - 2:00pm at the BCBC office in Vancouver. 
 
Establishing private sector support is crucial to presenting a vibrant Summit; please review our current sponsorship activity here. We need a little more assistance from the Host Committee to reach our goal necessary to host a fantastic Summit in July.  Please let Norm Letnick, MLA; Marica Smith, Teck; or myself know if you have any suggestions of other organizations we should contact. 
 
If you unable to attend in-person, please invite a colleague to join us at the meeting. Or, if you would like to listen in via conference call, the number is 888-909-7654, passcode 410646.

Notes from the last meeting and other documents are attached below.  
We hope to see you on April 11th.
