Advisory Committee on Community Engagement
The IKBLC Advisory Committee on Community Engagement provides a forum for discussion and consideration of the role and activities of the Learning Centre’s external community-oriented services. The Advisory Committee’s membership includes UBC and community stakeholders to ensure that program advice represents a broad range of interests and perspectives.
While the Committee is not a Steering Committee, IKBLC staff ask the Committee to engage in a wide range of discussions and make informed recommendations as to the Learning Centre’s service priorities and development, and we, in turn, take Committee recommendations seriously, following up on directions and ideas.
