“Chris brings integrity, energy, enthusiasm, conviction and a voice for the citizens of Kelowna to the Board of Education.
Over the past three years, I have worked side by side with him and seen his achievements on the issues that matter. He has grown into his role as School Trustee and has exercised excellent financial management decision making. I believe in him and he deeply believes in our schools, in our teachers, and in our students. I am supporting Chris and encourage you to vote for him on November 15.”  Al Horning - Photo: Wayne Moore

Former MP, MLA and Kelowna City Councillor "Chris understands our schools and our students and has fought for them on the Central Okanagan Board Education for the past three years.

"The recent labour dispute highlights the importance of leadership at School Boards. It was not the role of Trustees to negotiate in the public arena for government, nor to advocate for teachers. It was their role to support an agreement that worked in the best interest of our students and our education system. Chris Gorman was resolute in his support of both.
In my opinion, Kelowna has been well-served by Chris as School Trustee - and I hope that he has every opportunity to serve the citizens of Kelowna for another term." Tracey Hawthorn
Mother of School District No. 23 Students Physiotherapist  Tracey Hawthorn
"As a parent of four, I have a vested interest in having the right people represent me at the Central Okanagan Board of Education. I support Chris’s view of the education system and his priorities. He is a parent and a very well educated individual. I believe his business and political background brings major strength to the Board. His short-term and long-term strategic vision will help to drive the Board of Education forward. I certainly recommend him for School Trustee."

Vice-Principal, Central School  Doug Gray
"As a school-based administrator in the Central Okanagan School District, I appreciate the importance of a dedicated School Trustee.
Chris Gorman has demonstrated the highest level of such dedication by working extremely long hard hours to ensure he can make the best decisions possible regarding governance and policies that guide the Central Okanagan School District. Chris attends countless school, district and community functions on a weekly basis and truly cares about the programs and services being offered to our students. I have witnessed no other Trustee who spends more time serving his community. Chris is current and supportive of the technology, philosophy and structures of the emerging BC Education Plan that will set the stage for the next decade of change in the landscape of the BC Educational System. It not only takes time and dedication to stay current with this rapidly changing system where technology continues to enhance student learning, but it also takes a Trustee who is willing to personally immerse himself in these systems and technology in order to fully understand their roles and their limits and concerns. I whole-heartedly support Chris Gorman as he seeks another term of service to our community, and I hope you make the same choice as our kids deserve nothing but the best."  Trustee Wayne Horning

"When communities focus on children, their safety, and the power they possess to support each other and guide their own destinies, we are investing in our own future.

"I've worked with Chris on the University Children's Learning Centre Society Board where he served as Treasurer.
Chris is an extremely hardworking individual who has the ability to quickly identify what steps need to be taken to ensure that tasks get completed efficiently with positive outcome. He exhibits sound judgement and is highly skilled at working with others to achieve a consensus on issues. Without question, Chris has my vote for School Trustee." Tara Godwin
Member, Glenmore Elementary PAC "I am an active member of Glenmore Elementary School’s PAC, and spend a great deal of time at the school. This has given me an opportunity to see Chris Gorman functioning in his role as School Trustee on many different levels:
In each of these situations, he has conveyed his passion for his position and is a credit to the board. I fully support his re-election." |
