The BCPVPA Board of Directors is pleased to announce the appointment of Kevin Reimer as BCPVPA Executive Director, effective July 1.

Kevin has championed the Association’s mentoring program, promoted principal and vice-principal well-being, and expanded and revitalized outreach to members via webinars and video-conferencing. Throughout his career, Kevin has focused his leadership on creating collaborative cultures and has presented across Canada on professional learning communities. He began his career as a teacher in Delta in September 1989. He has been an Adult Education Principal, and Vice-Principal and Principal since 1998 in Delta and the Comox Valley. Kevin has a B.Ed from the University of British Columbia (1988) and an MA in Leadership Studies from San Diego State University (2003).
