It's official: I'm BC's new Regional Director of PWAC

To all of you who have been anxiously awaiting the verdict on my quest to become regional director for British Columbia of the Professional Writers' Association of Canada (PWAC), wait no longer - It's official.

I'm now undertaking the task of bringing myself up to speed with an organization of which I've been a member but not necessarily an active one for two years. My first real task will be to attend a weekend-long board meeting in Montreal later this month, after which I hope to have a better grasp on what's going on and what my role will be.

As an aside, I've also fallen into the role of communications co-chair, which comes ith its own set of requirements that I'll have to wade through at some point.

So yes, I am the PWAC's BC RD (for all you acronym fans) and will be so at least until the AGM in June (one more acronym for you!).

So thank you to the Academy, to God and to all my supporters. And in case none of you actually exist, then thank-you Mom!

About Me

I'm a professional copywriter and marketing strategist based in the Comox Valley, on beautiful Vancouver Island. A graduate with distinction of Concordia University’s School of Journalism in Montreal, I've been writing professionally for more than a decade. I relocated to the Comox Valley in 2002 and continued to work as a freelance writer and copywriter before becoming Marketing Coordinator for Comox Valley Tourism. In June 2008, I took my talent as a professional copywriter to the next level with the establishment of Ryan Parton Writing Solutions. Since then I've helped many small businesses, corporations and organizations perfect their marketing materials and business communications and obtain the exposure they deserve. I'm a member of the Professional Writers Association of Canada and the Comox Valley Chamber of Commerce. I still write for a variety of Canadian newspapers and magazines and am a regular contributor to In Focus Magazine. I live in the Comox Valley with my wife Sarah and my son Spencer.
