- Provide a unified voice for Licensing Officers to promote the advancement of community care licensing issues.
- Facilitate professional education and networking opportunities.

The society is governed by a twelve-member Executive Committee consisting of: President, Vice-President, Past President, Secretary, Treasurer, a representative from each of the five Health Authorities (VIHA, VCHA, FHA, IHA, NHA), and two ex-officio members. One is appointed by the Ministry of Health Community Care Licensing Program and the other is appointed by the Health Authority Licensing Council.
The Executive Committee provides leadership by representing the interests of Licensing Officers to government, other agencies and the community, and through the planning and delivery of training opportunities.

- Job classification reviews (BCGEU & CUPE)
- Licensing Officer Occupational Profile projects (1999 & 2008)
