BCPIA delivers valuable print industry-specific solutions that are only accessible through membership and through its affiliations with the National Association for Printing Leadership (NAPL), the Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters (CME), and other industry associations.

Examples:
• Government lobbying through BCPIA and strong industry support resulted in the Graphic Communications Technology Program at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT) . The Task Force was struck in April 2003 with the programs’ first classes starting in September 2006. Four classes have graduated from the program and all graduates are employed in the industry.

• Education programs in 2010 included Developing and Selling Fulfilment Services (January 14th) Round Table with Dr. Joe Webb (April 13th), Stayin' Alive (September 14th) and the Purchasing Round Table (October 28th) and more. Special member only webinars were also available.

• Networking Opportunities are held regularly to encourage and strengthen relationships and sharing of knowledge, such as the BCPIA 2010 Golf Tournament at Morgan Creek (July 8th, 2010) and the BCPIA Festive Dinner, (November 19th, 2010) CME events and more.

• Access to resources is offered through affiliate memberships in the NAPL and the CME and a Premium membership in whattheythink.com
