Board of Directors
The Board of Directors of the Oakland Strokes oversees the programs and provides strategic leadership for the staff and coaches. The Board consists of non-parents who bring expertise in rowing and business to our organization, as well as parents of current student-athletes. The Strokes currently have three former Olympic rowers, a former collegiate head coach, and a former USRowing Board member on our board. The Board helps drive the volunteering backbone of our organization through community and parent engagement and support.
The Board of Directors includes the Coach’s Liaison Committee. Created in 1995, this committee is tasked to act as a confidential resource for parents to access the coaches and the organization. Covering everything from simple how and why questions to mediating disputes, the liaisons act as an unbiased third party. Contact the liaisons by emailing liaisons@oaklandstrokes.org or leaving a message at 510.926.4100 ext 5.
