As part of BCTRA’s ongoing efforts to improve efficiency and maximize the value of member resources, the Association has transitioned to Microsoft Teams as its primary platform for webinars, meetings, and virtual events.
This change allows BCTRA to consolidate more services within a single system while reducing operating costs and improving long-term sustainability.
We are also pleased to share that BCTRA has been approved for a Microsoft 365 Nonprofit Account, providing access to a suite of Microsoft tools at no cost to the Association. While our current nonprofit subscription includes some limitations, it provides a strong foundation for supporting our operations and allows us to direct more resources toward initiatives that benefit members and advance the profession.
As with any new technology, there will be a learning curve for both BCTRA and our members. We appreciate your patience as we learn the platform, refine our processes, and support members in becoming comfortable with Teams-based events and webinars.
We remain committed to making this transition as smooth as possible and will continue to provide guidance and resources to help members get connected and participate successfully.
