Congratulations to the new 2012 ORC Board of Directors

Daniel Snoek, Catherine Manteo, Raymond Koehler, Brad Therrien, John Goodwin and Raine Ashford were all acclaimed at the recent Annual General Meeting.

The new board will continue the work of the organization, and has new ideas and plans for growth.

Please wish them well, and expect to see and hear more from them soon!

Notice of Annual General Meeting - January 21 at 7PM

The next AGM for the Okanagan Rainbow Coalition will be held Saturday, January 21, 2012, 7:00PM at The Centre in Kelowna. We urge all members to attend, and this year there are numerous positions becoming available!  Please become involved by considering joining the Board.

Being part of the ORC Board allows you to shape the future of the organization, and does not require a great deal of time commitment.  We are hoping for a broad cross-section of the community to step forward.  Positions include President and Vice-President (overall responsibility, runs meetings, final say in decisions), Secretary (keeps minutes, documentation and member communication), Treasurer (day to day book-keeping and financial) or simply join as a general Board Member.  Meetings are usually held every 5-6 weeks throughout the year and roles and responsibilities are flexible.
