Your local BA community! The Vancouver Chapter connects you to other BAs, great teachers and great local speakers. We offer everyone interested in working in Vancouver as a professional BA a way of connecting with their peers and linking up with more experienced teachers and guides. As a member of Vancouver chapter, you get discounted prices to at least eight evening meetings a year with some of the best speakers around.
As well, we offer a series of CBAP/CCBA preparation sessions with coaching on how to apply for certification and write the exams. Our web site gives you access to local job postings. You can find valuable reference materials on our web site http://vancouver.iiba.org/ Our low membership fee extends IIBA International membership and gives you great educational, social, networking value including online resources. We constantly get great ratings on all of our meetings and we have had some world class speakers come and talk to local members. Our local chapter has also provided valuable input to the International IIBA organization.
Recently we have run our first two-‐day classroom workshop with great success. This is the first of many more to come. Chapter members received a large discount as part of their membership benefits.
Become a local chapter member - gain great benefits and a great
experience.
Here are some of the things our members are saying: "I find the IIBA Vancouver local chapter very good at getting high quality speakers for the regular events, with topics that are relevant, educational and current. I always pick up something of use to me, and enjoy the sense of community as well as the networking opportunities. I have also taken advantage of the CBAP study sessions, which helped me with both the knowledge and confidence for certification. For local Business Analysts, this is where we belong. For aspiring Business Analysts, this is a great place to start." Alan Goldade, Senior Business Analyst, Port Coquitlam "Yes indeed, the IIBA Vancouver Chapter does excellent work. Our website has A LOT of great content. The monthly meetings are enriching, with a variety of interesting topics presented. I especially appreciate
that our speakers supply further references for us to investigate, and to learn from. The times of gathering offer opportunities to share experiences with other B.A.s. The BABOK study program is well organized and effective. None of these programs and resources could have occurred without the considerable commitment and effort that our Board of Directors has demonstrated. We members have been lucky indeed.
I have been a member for two years, and in summary, I would say the Vancouver IIBA Chapter is an enthusiastic and nourishing incubator for B.A. skill sets in the Lower Mainland of B.C."
