Vancouver Metro Vancouver Regional District, CA Watson Board Advisors Full time
BC Hotel Association

The BC Hotel Association (BCHA) Aims To Grow The Hotel Sector Through Practical, Innovative, And Trustworthy Solutions To Issues That Affect The Successful Operations Of Accommodation Businesses, While Simultaneously Elevating The Accommodation Industry’s Impact On The BC Economy. As The Primary Advocate For The Interests Of BC’s Diverse Accommodation Sector, From Small Independent Hotels To Large Hotel Chains, The BCHA Is The Bridge Builder For Owners And Operators To Government, The Corporate Community, And Other Hospitality And Tourism Organizations. BCHA Achieves This By

  • Providing data-driven problem definitions and snapshots of the sector’s current state
  • Offering well-researched solutions tailored to align with the government’s decision-making process
  • Cultivating and sustaining respectful relationships with government decision-makers while maintaining a visible media presence.

BCHA’s mission is Shaping the future of Hospitality. We advocate, communicate, and educate.

The BCHA’s membership is comprised of over 800 Accommodation Members – any owner, operator, or senior management leader of any operating accommodation or lodging business – and 180 Allied Members – any supplier, vendor, or partner of the hospitality industry in BC. The BCHA is working to diversify its revenue streams by developing a revenue-generating entity that will operate independently from the BCHA, and seeking further opportunities for strategic partnerships to maximize its capacity to deliver support to its members.

BCHA has been under the leadership of a highly-regarded President & Chief Executive Officer (President & CEO), who will be leaving the organization at the end of 2024 to focus her contributions in other meaningful ways.

President & CEO

With the objective of building upon the current foundation of success, the organization is seeking a President & CEO who will continue to unleash the potential of the BCHA team, seek opportunities for ongoing financial stability and increased capacity, and be highly transparent and collaborative in all that they do. They will excel at stakeholder engagement and be a strong advocate for the sector. This will require deep listening and an understanding of the needs and challenges facing hoteliers to determine what’s important to advocate and lobby for with government.

The next President & CEO will be a champion of both BCHA and the sector and model ethical behaviours of integrity, accountability, leadership and curiosity. The ideal candidate will be tenacious, forward-thinking, and entrepreneurial with prior experience as a senior executive. A high level of financial/business acumen and exceptional relationship-building skills are also required to enable the next President & CEO to successfully navigate the complex relationships with government and sector leaders. Experience and exposure to the hospitality and tourism industries will be an important asset.
