BCCIE said the award was for long-term contributions and “the far-reaching impacts realised over a career of commitment to British Columbia’s international education sector”.
Sharon Curl, managing director of Oxford International North America/Eurocentres Canada & San Diego, was a member of the awards selection committee.
