History
In 1991 the British Columbia and Yukon Association of Women's Centres (BCYAWC) initiated a training strategy called Planning for Change. It was preceded by a needs assessment questionnaire sent to member centres to identify the organizational and resource problems to be addressed by such a strategy and uncover solutions to common problems. The results were used to develop training workshops and a resource manual, "From Burnout to Breakthrough." The manual was completed in 1993. It begins with an historical overview of the development of women's centres and includes guidelines for operating a centre including fundraising, marketing, recruitment, and outreach.
