As we approach the end of the year, the BCPS Employees for Freedom executive team would like to wish everyone an enjoyable and safe holiday season and give thanks for helping create the kind of impact that changes the world!
As a non-profit society, it is important to have a mindset of abundance. Taking the time to recognize your achievements allows you the chance to pinpoint exactly what worked so that you can repeat it in the future. Taking pride in your accomplishments by celebrating them—even the small ones—can boost your self-confidence and motivate you to achieve more. In fact, pride is one of a select group of emotions that produces success.
The society has done a TON of work over this past year and we’d like to share our successes and thank everyone who contributed to our cause.
Our success over the last year has come from people like you. We are grateful for you and your support of the BCPS Employees for Freedom Society. Thank you for walking this powerful journey with us!
We invite everyone who supports our cause to join with us to protect and advance the rights and freedoms of all British Columbians.
We wholeheartedly thank you and we are excited for 2023 and can’t wait to see how much more we can do together!
