What is recommitment? In the CORE Team program, recommitment is the process by which members renew their CORE membership for the upcoming year. Whether you wish to return to CORE or decline recommitment, you must do so using your member dashboard. If you want to remain an active CORE member in BCWS for another year, you must also obtain your supervisor’s approval after submitting your decision. Supervisor approval is required for recommitment each year. How does the new recommitment process work? Starting in 2025, there will be a designated recommitment period beginning in January each year. During this period, you will receive a recommitment reminder via email, prompting you to confirm your recommitment status on your member dashboard. We also advise you to discuss the possibility of returning to CORE with your supervisor beforehand. Once you confirm your return to CORE on your dashboard, your supervisor will be notified and must submit their approval through their supervisor portal. After your supervisor's approval is received in the CORE Team system, your status will remain active for the upcoming year. If your supervisor declines your recommitment request, your status will become inactive by the end of the recommitment period. You will receive email notifications for both updates. What about my PAR-Q+ Submission? You are still need to complete a PAR-Q+ form for BCWS recommitment every year. However, the PAR-Q+ will be integrated in the new recommitment process and you can access and completed it in your member dashboard during recommitment. To complete the PAR-Q+, you must have a witness signature. Before you start recommitment, please make sure you have found someone to be your witness. |
