Message from the Executive Director

Welcome to the British Columbia Council for International Education (BCCIE). We are proud to represent the international education sector in British Columbia and to support its initiatives locally and internationally.

Alexander Solzhenitsyn wrote that "talent is always conscious of its own abundance, and does not object to sharing." As a sector of international educators passionate about their vocation, BCCIE stakeholders have a tradition of sharing their wealth of talent without precondition. Our stakeholders share common values, a common purpose, a dedication to professionalism and the student experience, and a collegiality unsurpassed in our profession.

It is our good fortune to work with such dedicated professionals in support of the international education sector in one of the world's premier K-12 and post-secondary systems; we firmly believe British Columbia (BC) is the best place in the world to study.

We enjoy a privileged role as a dynamic champion for the international education sector of BC and continue to be a primary resource for activities, information, services, and inclusive models of professional development.

Dr. Randall Martin
Executive Director
