On September 24, 2025, we officially kicked off BCODN’s 2025/2026 Cycle with our first networking event at Rikoko in Downtown Vancouver. The evening brought together familiar faces and new members alike, all sharing one purpose: to connect, learn, and build community around the practice of Organizational Development.

Events like this are more than just an opportunity to mingle, they are the foundation of our community. By coming together, we create spaces where ideas can be exchanged, professional connections can grow into collaborations, and the practice of Organizational Development can continue to evolve in meaningful ways. These gatherings remind us that OD is not just about theory or tools, but about people working side by side to make organizations healthier and more impactful.

As we move into this new cycle, we’re excited to offer a range of opportunities for learning and connection:

• Leadership Insights – high-level panels and collaborations with partner organizations such as the Montalbano Centre for Responsible Leadership.

• Insight Circles – interactive, online case discussions for emerging consultants, students, and practitioners.

• Social Mixers – informal, in-person gatherings that focus on conversation and connection.

• Building Community Organizations (BCO) – our flagship program, matching experienced OD practitioners with nonprofit organizations and aspiring consultants. Pending new funding, BCO will continue to provide real-world impact and skill development for our members.

Each of these streams offers a unique way to get involved, whether you’re looking to deepen your expertise, share your experience, or simply meet like-minded professionals. Be sure to keep an eye on our Events Page to register for what’s coming up next, we’d love to see you there.
