[BCMA] Okanagan Archive BC Buzz

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv]

And I didn't even think of it, but we are under new management.

  We are also excited to introduce Amanda Christmas as the new Executive
Director of Okanagan Archive. Amanda brings a wealth of experience and a
fresh perspective to our organization. Her passion for history and
dedication to community engagement make her a perfect fit for leading our
efforts to preserve and share the rich heritage of the Okanagan Valley.
With her at the helm, we are confident that Okanagan Archive will continue
to grow and evolve, bringing innovative ideas and renewed energy to our
projects. We look forward to the exciting developments under Amanda’s
leadership and are thrilled to have her guiding us into this new chapter.
