The Agur Lake Camp Board of Directors has created a new paid position called the Society Manager. After reviewing numerous applications from capable hopefuls, the Board selected Christina MacMaster for the position as of July 2011.

Christina MacMaster has an extensive background in program development and delivery. She has been in the field of management and supervision of staff and volunteer programs for over 20 years. Having started in a small not-for-profit that provided a variety of special needs programs, she has continued to assist many through her role in a management capacity. Christina has three grown sons and now lives in Peachland with her husband, Ken, enjoying spare time with three wonderful grandchildren.

Most of the executive work of the Society to date has been handled by volunteers. However, with the work load increasing as the camp is moving towards operation in the next year, professional help is needed to facilitate the tasks that lie ahead. The Board appointed a hiring committee to look for someone with the skills needed to guide the society into its next phase of development. Christina was chosen by the committee and on their recommendation, hired by the Board.

Agur Lake Camp Society does not have an office. Christina will work from her home by phone and email. Much of her work will be face-to-face involvement with members, volunteers and the community. Her contract with the Society spells out her goals in assuming the Society Manager role. She will be responsible directly to the Board.

Christina can be contacted through either the phone number or email address in our ''Contact'' link.
