Building Organizational Sector Sustainability (BOSS) is British Columbia’s largest not-for-profit conference. This event is a space for dialogue, collaboration, and the development of game-changing tactics to strengthen our province through partnerships and investments with the not-for-profit sector. Join us for BOSS, Reimagined, and the movement to rebalance BC’s economy.

Build a Community of Leaders Committed to the Success of BC's Not-for-Profit Sector
With a new online format and nearly unlimited reach, BOSS will provide an exceptional opportunity to bring together not-for-profit leaders, government representatives, funders, businesses, and volunteers to inspire and enlighten dialogue. Participants at BOSS will be able to strengthen connections across the province and beyond.

Identify and Advance Key Priorities to Strengthen BC's Not-for-Profit Sector
We will build on the expertise of seasoned not-for-profit leaders and consultants. We will identify solutions, strengthen sector capacity, share resources, and reimagine the conditions which will lead to transformational change in our sector and the communities we serve.

Advance Tangible Solutions to Augment Justice, Equity, Decolonization, and Inclusion (JEDI)
Now more than ever, there is growing recognition that the COVID-19 pandemic and systemic racism disproportionately affect historically oppressed communities. BOSS will nurture a supportive forum to review, discuss, and share current and new approaches to advance JEDI practices in BC’s not-for-profit sector.
Where Does BOSS, Reimagined Take Place?
We gratefully acknowledge most of the BOSS Conference, and Vantage Point’s work, takes place on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded lands of the Skwxwú7mesh (Squamish), Səl̓ílwətaʔ (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nations. We pay our respect to their elders, past and present, for stewarding the land, water, and the life of this region from time immemorial.
