Opimian is a not-for-profit Society owned by its members and led by a Board of Directors elected at the Annual General Meeting. The Board sets strategy, safeguards the Society, and works on behalf of members from coast to coast.
The Opimian Society is governed by a ten-member Board of Directors, elected by members at the Annual General Meeting. The current Board was elected at the Society's 53rd AGM on June 11, 2026, and represents members across British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec. Directors set strategy and oversee the Society's stewardship through four standing committees, while the staff team handles day-to-day operations. As a not-for-profit, every surplus dollar is reinvested in the member experience.
The Board elects officers from among its members to lead its work between meetings: a Chair, a Vice Chair, a Treasurer, and a Secretary.
Patrick chairs the Board and chaired the Society's 53rd Annual General Meeting in June 2026, presenting the President's highlights from the Annual Report and guiding the Board's strategy and governance on behalf of members.
Gordon serves as Vice Chair, supporting the Chair and the Board in its governance and stewardship of the Wine Club.
Andrew serves as Treasurer, presenting the Society's audited financial statements and overseeing financial matters on behalf of members. As a not-for-profit, all surplus is reinvested directly for member benefit.
