Rear Commodores are appointed by the President, Vice-President and Treasurer to support them in running the Club. For example in the past years, this has included setting up this new website and membership platform, sourcing merchandise such as wetsuits, or helping through subcommittees, for instance to establish a mentoring program or plan how a fleet renewal can best serve our members for the years to come.

The Commodore is a Steering Committee member responsible for the operation of the Club, for instance coordinating with fleet captain and bosuns to ensure our equipment remains in good shape and up to date, as well as monitoring extraneous club activities such as multi-day out-of-base trips on club equipment.

COMMUNICATION and LESSONS Coordination


Communications & Lessons Coordinator: Aliya
hello@ubcsailing.org

One of our club's most important and time-consuming roles: addressing or redirecting emailed requests, helping people with their membership and lesson registration process, informing our members through our newsletter,.... Aliya does it all!

Events AND Diversity, Equity, Inclusion


Diversity, Equity, Inclusion &
Racing/Social Events Coordinator: Nina
social@ubcsailing.org

Community happens through helping our members connect and share good times together.
We also strive to reach out to and welcome individuals whose background makes them less able or likely to be exposed to our activities.


Social events are organized around our activities, but not only. If you have ideas that could help our good vibes, let us know, and we'll do our best to plan it with you!

MERCHANDISE


Merchandise Manager: Regina
merchandise@ubcsailing.org

Do you need to pick up something you bought through our merchandise page?
Do you have a cool idea of UBC-branded gear that you want to share with others, so that we can place a group order?
Get in touch!

EQUIPMENT & FACILITIES

Procurement Officer: Chee


Facilities Manager: Robby
facilities@ubcsailing.org

Certain members create a lot of work for others to keep the club organized, tidy, and in working order.
We aim to minimize that through standardization and by favouring systems that help all of us find stuff in good shape, where and when we need it.
Do you have mild OCD, and time or ideas that can help? Reach out!

Fleet Captains and Bosuns

Our fleet captains, with the help of bosuns, are responsible for the good working order of our fleet. They arrange maintenance as needed, offering work hours to members who contribute their time to repair our equipment and maximize its availability for enjoyment on the water. They coordinate with the Commodore and Treasurer to ensure we have the required items, and inform the steering committee about the general condition of our fleet, and about our members' needs and wishes for equipment.
