The West Kelowna Pickleball Club is officially governed as a Registered Society in British Columbia under the BC Societies Act. This structure ensures that the club operates as a non-profit entity dedicated solely to promoting and developing the sport of pickleball for the benefit of its members and the community, not for financial gain.
Key governance features include:
Democratic Member Control: The club is accountable to its members, who have the right to vote on significant matters and elect the Board of Directors (Council) at the Annual General Meeting (AGM).
Board of Directors: A volunteer Board is responsible for the overall management and strategic direction of the club, acting honestly and in the best interests of the Society, and ensuring compliance with the Societies Act, the club's Constitution, and its Bylaws.
Formal Bylaws: The club operates under a set of legally filed bylaws that define rules for membership, director responsibilities, holding meetings, and financial oversight, providing a transparent and stable foundation for its operations.Â
