Sasha is an adaptive, flexible, people-centric leader with a strong connection and passion for Naramata Centre. Having attended regularly since 2017, Sasha has established personal relationships with many long-term Naramata Centre participants, program and resource leaders. Over these years of listening and learning, Sasha felt a calling to serve this unique community. Sasha has the vision and experience to create a long-term sustainable future: financially, socially and spiritually.
Sasha brings over a decade of management experience and business leadership with a record of proven success. He has worked in both the wellness and hospitality sectors, in both private and not-for-profit ventures. He brings a diverse set of skills including hospitality, human resources, business development and communications, and has been responsible for housekeeping, reception and welcoming, volunteer programs, group bookings, online marketing, site and facilities management and revenue management.
But perhaps most importantly, Sasha understands the spirit that makes the Naramata Centre the extraordinary place and community that it is. He is committed to respecting the Centre’s connection to the United Church. He is aware of the Centre’s current strength of community and its opportunities and he is unabashedly optimistic about its future.

Allison grew up in the Okanagan and never lets a day go by without stopping to look around to appreciate the beauty that surrounds us here in the valley. She is the proud Mom of 2 grown sons; Allison is in her happy place in the garden with partner Luke and their 'posse' that includes 1 dog, 2 cats and 2 donkeys :) The Centre is very fortunate to have Allison who is also a Red Seal Chef taking care of everyone’s well being, serving nutritious meals and supporting the Centre and the team with all its operational needs.
