Bowen Island Football Club - AGM 2025

The Bowen Island FC Annual General Meeting for 2025 took place this week at Doc Morgans on Thursday March 27th. During the meeting we ran through a summary of the Club's performance in 2024, elected our 2025 Board, and approved our 2025 Budget. The meeting was led by Club President Niul Bird and was shared on Microsoft Teams for those that couldn't be present in person.

Club President Niul Bird led the AGM, taking us through a recap of the year and looking ahead to 2025.

Our 2024 Board consisted of Niul Bird as Board President, Boris Nikic as Treasurer overseeing the Club’s Finances, Lee Vincent as Club Secretary, and Andy Gillooley took on Creative Direction, Marketing and Branding. Ann Walters and Rebecca Ander rounded out the Board as Director's at Large.

Going forward we will be welcoming Jess Onqa and Ryan Glancy to our 2025 board, and Ann Walters will step down from her role, meaning the board will be built out as:

Niul Bird - Club President
Lee Vincent - Club Secretary
Boris Nikic - Club Treasurer
Andy Gillooley - Member at Large
Jess Onqa - Member at Large
Rebecca Ander - Member at Large
Ryan Glancy - Member at Large

From an Operations perspective, Anita Peters-White will continue as General Manager and Club Coordinator. Niul Bird continues as Technical Director, although this is an open position that we are actively looking to fill for 2025 and beyond.

We want to thank Ann Walters for her many years of service to BIFC as Treasurer and Board Member, she has made an incredible contribution to the club and continues to be an amazing advocate for soccer on Bowen Island.

Ann Walters has made an incredible contribution to the Club and was recognized for everything that she has brought as she stepped down from her role on The Board.

2024 was a great year with some challenges but full of exciting accomplishments with a focus on branding, marketing, sustainability, volunteerism, program development, member involvement and engagement. Importantly BIFC renewed our status with Soccer Canada as a Quality Soccer Provider of Canada.

BIFC Creative Director, Andy Gillooley ran us through the numerous marketing initiatives that we have driven, and looked forward to more coming this year.

The commitment and support from Bowen Island families and the soccer community underscore the club's significance in our community. This report details the accomplishments and progression of the year under the evolving leadership structure, symbolizing the continued unity and dedication of Bowen Island FC.
