BC Games Says Farewell to Glenda Rae

 
 

She'd been at the helm at the BC Games Society for 40 years and now Glenda gets to do what she wants to do when she wants to do it!

Her job position as Executive Assistant did not begin to describe her impact and contribution to the BC Games Society. 

Formally she was responsible for accounts payables and receivables, managing administrative staff, overseeing Board communications and arranagements, supporting the President and CEO, coordinating payroll and benefits, and ensuring continuity and consistency, to name only a few.  

Informally she was the heart and soul of the office -- bringing her compassion and open heart to all who passed through.

The Society would not have had its success and growth without the guidance and reliability of Glenda on the team.  Thank you Glenda!  We will miss you.
