Formed in 2013, the Presidents Group is a network of 25 change-driven BC business leaders who are champions for more accessible, inclusive workplaces.

Leaders of businesses of all different sizes,  sectors, and business models are represented and nearly 60,000 British Columbians are employed at the Presidents Group’s 25 member organizations.

In 2018, The Presidents Group launched the Community of Accessible Employers, which gives employers beyond the 25 appointed members the chance to join the movement to accessible employment.
