Governance of the Coalition

The BEICC is a national umbrella organization representing the many voices of the business events sector and related partners. The organization is overseen by a volunteer board of directors and committees, with additional support and strategic input from the business community at large.

The Coalition was incorporated in January 2010 and is currently developing its Call to Action.

We are currently seeking volunteers to assist with the following committees:

  • Membership Development
  • Marketing & Communications

Contact general@beicc.com if you are interested in these and other volunteer opportunities.
