Badminton BC is looking forward to working with Phil officially in this role and trust that in the next few years our organization will grow and flourish.  Weekly meetings between Phil and myself have already sped up many of our processes as we transition into our new Board Structure voted on at the AGM in September 2011 (click here to view).  We are also looking forward to working this summer on our Strategic Plan with the goal of having it in place for the next AGM in September 2012.
