Here are the members of our 2014 Board of Advisors!

Vancouver Is Awesome has come a long way since we first launched back in 2008. From a tiny niche blog that was never intended to bring in a dime to a successful media company (The Awesome Media Network Inc) with a few tentacles and national franchises, this entire thing has been built on positivity. At our core we've always been (and will always be) dedicated to reminding you about the things that keep you excited about your city, despite all the awful crap.

A lot of our work is done here on our blog, on Twitter (where our @VIAwesome has a following of 44,000+) and on Facebook (where our Page has 28,000+ Likes) but we also appear on radio and TV, we release magazines, we co-published a bestselling history book (Vancouver WAS Awesome), and more. We've got some serious momentum thanks to the community.

There are more than 65 thoughtful Vancouverites who you see up front contributing to this Awesome machine every day. What you don't see are our supporters who help move it forward on the back end. There are many, the most active group being our Board of Advisors. As our president and editor-in-chief I've made more than a lifetime's worth of connections to great people doing great things in this city and this board is made up of a bunch of them who really believe in what we do. These 33 below are champions of Vancouver Is Awesome, and they each offer advice to me personally whenever I need it... once a year minimum, with others offering it (or being asked for it!) once a week.
