On behalf of the Board of Directors, I am very pleased to announce the appointment of James Holloway as the new General Operations Manager (GOM) of Badminton BC, effective Monday, November 3, 2025.

James brings over a decade of diverse experience in sport administration, event planning, education, and program development. He has held leadership roles in post-secondary institutions, multi-sport club, and international schools, where he successfully managed athletic operations, program delivery, and staff development. Throughout his career, James has demonstrated a strong commitment to strategic planning, athlete and program growth, and collaborative stakeholder engagement. His proven ability to build partnerships and strengthen organizational capacity will be an asset to our association as we continue to advance badminton in British Columbia.

This appointment follows a rigorous and transparent selection process.

The Hiring Committee, consisting of Board members with expertise in management and human resources, then conducted second interviews and recommended James for the position, which was subsequently approved by the Board of Directors.
