Board & Committees
Our Board
The Board is responsible for leading the College of Complementary Health Professionals of BC (CCHPBC) and for ensuring that the College fulfils its duties and objects set out in the Health Professions Act. Board members provide strategic leadership. They guide the organization’s direction, ensure necessary resources, and monitor performance to meet the College’s mandate. The Board and Registrar/CEO work together to ensure that CCHPBC fulfils its public protection role.
The Board consists of six registrant members (at least one member and not more than two members from each profession regulated by the College) and six public members (appointed by the Minister of Health). Members are selected so that collectively they bring diverse practice, lived experience, provincial geography, and professional skills to the table. Of the 12 Board members, the goal is to have at least two Indigenous members.
