The highest priority for our admin staff is to provide outstanding customer service to everyone who walks in the door.  We keep busy by welcoming you, answering your questions on the phone and doing all those ‘behind-the-scenes’ activities that, along with our coaches, deliver the best possible OGC experience.

The Okanagan Gymnastics Centre is a non-profit Society, run by a Board of Directors who are tasked with overseeing the operations of the club.

The Board of Directors is elected by OGC's members at the Annual General Meeting, which is held in the fall of each year. The Board of Directors is made up of volunteers, carefully recruited from a variety of backgrounds, experience, skills and abilities who are committed to delivering OGC's Mission, Vision, & Values.  The Board is led by an Executive Committee consisting of the Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary.
