BCSC BOARD Of DIRECTORS

---

Aly was looking for a way to stay informed in the cheerleading world. With her love of organization and spreadsheets, treasurer of the BCSC seemed like a great fit. It was also a way to help build awareness of a sport that she lives in not only BC, but Canada! Aly’s goal for the remainder of the term is to create and stick to a budget that will give the members of the BC Sport Cheer additional opportunities.

Krista works full-time at Kwantlen Polytechnic University. Krista has been involved with BCSC since 2013.  Krista is passionate about advocating for the growth and development of cheerleading across BC and Canada.  Krista has been involved as an athlete, coach, judge and sports organizational member both domestically and internationally.  She is passionate about the promotion of cheerleading as a sport for all.

Mishan works full time as a Gym Owner and Coach in Victoria, BC. She has been involved in the cheerleading industry in BC since 2006 starting in community football cheerleading, then she transitioned to all star cheerleading where she eventually competed at the worlds level, finally completing her career as an athlete in collegiate cheer. She has coached highschool, all star, and collegiate cheer teams and continues to coach both The University of Victoria Cheerleading Team & many of her teams at Island Elite Cheerleading, which she co-owns. Mishan has always had a passion and special connection with game day cheerleading as this is where she started out - which is why she was excited to initially take on the position of Scholastic Director for BC Sport Cheer in 2020 to help advocate for school teams. Mishan has now transitioned to her new role as Vice President and is focused on promoting High Performance programs in BC, as well as furthering equity, diversity, and inclusion in our cheer community, and assisting with education opportunities for coaches across the province.

Dawn Silver has been part of the cheer community in BC since 1986. Dawn has

been a cheerleader and coached for the VMFL, local High Schools, and SFU back when they first started in the late 90's. Dawn has been part of the BCSC since its inception and has been the Secretary, Treasurer, and President for over 10-years and is currently on the BCSC EDI community. Dawn is one of the owners of Cheer Sport Sharks Vancouver and Pinnacle Cheer Events. As her 2nd child is moving up to High School (and Dawn is stepping down from PAC), she now has some time to give back to the BCSC again. Dawn believes that being connected as a gym owner, EP and now the IASF, provides various viewpoints that could help the executive. Dawn also has an accounting background and a love for spreadsheets and being organized. Dawn is committed to ensuring all of the athletes are represented and that the path BCSC has set forth continues to be best for all of BC's athletes.
