Board of Directors

The Williams Lake Stampede would not exist without the tireless efforts of the Board of Directors and they are just a part of the story. Hundreds of volunteers from a variety of backgrounds give their time, expertise and a whole lot of elbow grease to make this world famous rodeo a success. Hats off to all of you! .

Please join us in welcoming our 2025/2026 Board of Directors!

We’re excited to have some new faces join us. We would also like to extend sincere gratitude to the outgoing directors: John Margetts, Angela Waterson, Ed Groniger, Kara Rolph, and Lorina Sundt. You have all made such an impact throughout your time with us, and we wish you all the best!
