On October 19th, we hosted our Annual General Meeting of our members and took a moment to reflect on what Accelerate Okanagan and the #OKGNtech community have accomplished over the past year.
You can read though the stories and initiatives we’ve launched and the milestones we’ve hit in our 2021/2022 Annual Report.
The meeting was also an opportunity for us to elect a new Board of Directors, consisting of both new and returning members. I wanted to take this opportunity to introduce and celebrate the new Accelerate Okanagan Board that will support our community over the next year. This group of highly-skilled professionals have a wealth of experience and are committed to supporting us and the community through our next chapter of growth.
