Our Board of Directors is comprised of 7-9 volunteers who meet four times per year to discuss issues dealing with the governance of DGS. Their role is to promote the well-being and ongoing development of DGS, and the best long-term interests of its members.
The Executive Director of DGS is responsible for implementing Board directions and ensuring that our operations are consistent with Board policies. The Executive Director provides advice and support to the Board, reports on operations, and seeks Board approval when required.
We are seeking Delta residents who wish to join our Governance Policy Board of Directors.
Applicants must have an interest in leading and governing rather than being involved in how the Society operates on a day to day basis. If you are a visionary with a positive attitude, open to opportunity, a team player, and interested in helping Delta become an active and healthy community, our Nominating Committee wants to hear from you.
To contact the DGS Board, please send an e-mail to: boardofdirectors@deltagymnastics.com.
Since taking up residence in Tsawwassen 20 years ago, Gord and his family have had a strong connection with both the community as well as Delta Gymnastics, being active members and sponsors in numerous youth programs and events.
Raised on the eastern Canada, Gord has been involved in business and athletics from an early age. Upon graduation from McMaster University he went on to become one of the founders of Auto Fleet Services, considered a Canadian pioneer in fleet vehicle disposal. In 1988 the Auto Fleet model assisted in the creation of vehicle “Marketing Centers” and became a first of many located throughout major Canadian cities.
During non-business hours, his love for athletics leads him to continually share his passion with the youth of the community as a football coach and contributions to various organizations.
Gord contributes both business skills and leadership experience to the board. He is enthusiastic about the importance of volunteering and is committed to ensuring South Delta Gymnastics Society remains a strong and stable youth program in our community. Drawing on knowledge acquired through business and coaching, he strives to make the experience as meaningful and memorable
as possible.
Alli lives in Ladner with her husband and their two young boys. She has a Chartered Professional Accountant (CPA, CMA) designation, and specializes in financial analysis and strategy. After 16 years in the corporate world (previously working for MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates and before that Molson), she has recently taken a hiatus to head up the finance department for her family’s business in the marine industry. This has allowed her the flexibility of working from home some days and getting to spend more time with her young family. This flexibility is especially nice, as she will have both her boys in parent and tot gymnastics at the same time in September! When Alli is not working she can often be found pushing a double stroller all around Ladner, enjoying the community, and visiting the local shops and parks.
