We are all things member related! This committee is always looking for ways to engage our membership and make sure everyone is getting the most out of their time with the VPA. We meet monthly to discuss new ideas for events and promos, as well as fine tune our existing member resources. We also strive to ensure we promote and celebrate the work and successes of each one of our members through the VPA newsletter we assemble and distribute each month. When it all boils down to it, our members are the VPA’s top priority and we are here working for you! If you have any ideas about how we can improve your experience, or would like to volunteer with the committee, please reach out and let us know.

We aim to work closely with our valuable sponsorships to help them gather attention to their business and operations via social blasts, networking events, webinars and blogs. In addition we also strive to promote the VPA brand within our own community and internationally by showcasing film and television posted in Vancouver. We believe Vancouver has the talent and infrastructure to continue thriving as we build on our success stories. As VPA continues to innovate and support our members with professional development, mentorship, social networking, and advocacy programs we remain committed to our sponsorships, building our organization together.

Our commitment is to nurture emerging talent in the post production industry and find ways to support and grow their knowledge, professional network, and abilities.  By lifting up the next wave of post production creatives, we also help to grow and strengthen the talent pool, refresh the industry with new perspectives and ideas, and provide avenues for established professionals to give back to the community.

Equity, Diversity
& Inclusion

Committee
CINDY Au Yeung (Co-Chair) ANTHONY CORSI (Co-Chair)
Eli Haligua, Jalal Karim, Sandra Nash, Arlein Wharf-Garcia

Committee Volunteers
Justin Aucoin, Jean Wharf-Garcia, Lara Mazur, David Ramos

Email: diversity@vancouverpostalliance.com

This committee primarily focuses on diversity within the membership and also advocates for opportunity and equity within our industry as a whole.  We believe it is extremely important to not just address racism and discrimination, but raise awareness to systemic racism that exists in all forms within our larger society. Our film and television industry still lacks proper representation and it’s never been more apparent than now that diverse voices matter in the creative arts.

Through the sharing of information, supporting discussions on diversity and equity, and promoting festivals, events or seminars with a diverse lens in mind, we are committed to creating channels where our membership can both learn and start conversations that will help everyone grow together as a more inclusive and stronger industry.

We take all the discussions and subsequent decisions made by the board and relay them to both our member-base and the Film/TV community at large.  We are heavily involved in creating new graphical content, running social media posts, sending out email notices, and managing the VPA’s monthly newsletter.  We work together with our Marketing Coordinator to make sure you stay informed!
