Based in part on the successful initiatives of the Pacific Chapter Young Professionals, SWANA International will be holding a one hour focus group session the end of June in the Metro Vancouver area as it works on development of a new 5 year Strategic Management Plan addressing the change of guard to a younger demographic member and customer. If you are interested in participating please send an email to info@swanabc.org. You don’t need to be a SWANA member – but you have to fall within the “Young Professional” description.
