On December 17 2010, a Strategic Plan conducted by UBCO was formally presented to a representative group from the Kelowna City Concert Band Executive. In attendance for the formal presentation at the UBC Campus were Lance Secret, Tim Watson, and Bruce Dougall. The Strategic Plan was studied, researched, compiled and presented by Tiffany Chen, Tyler Hansen, and Jennette Koehn. The in depth study consisted of the Band’s strengths and weaknesses complete with a plan for improvement as an organization and functioning entity in the area of the Arts and civic service to the city and people of Kelowna. The executive were so impressed with the excellent content of the study that they have requested the three business students make the same presentation to the members of the Band at their upcoming AGM in February.
Special thanks is given to UBCO, the three above mentioned students and their Professor Dr. Ian Stuart, Associate Dean Professor, Supply Chain Management, Faculty of Management Okanagan Campus, for their joint efforts in assisting the Band in this endeavour.
UBCO students, interested in becoming involved with the Kelowna City Concert Band as players or in other areas of need, are encouraged to contact Bruce Dougall or Tim Watson.
