Dear Advocis Vancouver member,

Earlier this year, we surveyed our members in order to get some information about a variety of topics, ranging from the reasons why you joined Advocis to your communication preferences.

In total we had 49 respondents. We asked 16 questions and here are some of the results:

Yesterday, I had the opportunity to participate in the Magic of the Season event at Science World for Advocis members and sponsored in full by Canada Life. At this time of year when things are very busy it was nice to take time away from the office and spend it with family. I took my three year old daughter who has been to Science World many times but never before with her dad.

Advocis Vancouver would like to recognize the following members celebrating membership milestones in January 2012!

This year, Advocis Vancouver and the Vancouver Foundation sponsored Business in Vancouver's 5th annual supplement on the theme of Charitable Giving and Business Succession Planning. Thank you to everyone who contributed.

After posting a small profit in 2009 we slid back with a loss in 2010.  Revenue was slightly down but it was the increased costs of services that pulled us down.  We continue to have a solid financial base with total assets of $196k and equity of $160k.  I have a few copies here and copies are available through our treasurer or our support office.
