TT Douglas College Founda-
tion has appointed Vancouver
resident Peter W. Webster to be its
Chairman for the coming year.
Webster sat as the Vice Chairman
of the fundraising body in the pre-
vious term.

Randi Duke, Executive Director
of the Douglas College Founda-
tion, says "We're very fortunate to
have him as our chairman," ad-
ding "We welcome him to the
chairmanship, and look forward
to his leadership."

His work with the Foundation
is a part of Webster’s long history
of commitment to volunteer and
philanthropic work. He is active
in numerous service organiza-
tions, and has become known
internationally for his tireless
work with sports halls of fame.

He ran the B.C. Sports Hall of
Fame for eleven years, and was
involved in the establishment of
the Canadian Association for
Sport Heritage. He was also the
first Canadian to be president of
the International Association of
Sport Museums and Halls of
Fame.

This year that organization will
honor Peter Webster for his
prominence in the field. He is the
recipient of the 1987 W.R. (Bill)
Schroeder Award for Outstand-
ing Support to Sports Museums
and Halls of Fame. The award
recognizes him as volunteer of
the year for his ongoing work
with sports museums and halls of
fame.

The award will be presented to
him at a meeting to be held at the
Football Hall of Fame in Canton,
Ohio. Webster says the award
was named after a pioneer of
sports museums. “Bill Schroeder
is the grandfather of halls of
fame. He was the founder of the
international organization.”

Peter W. Webster
New Foundation Chairman

Active is probably the best
word to describe Peter W.
Webster. In daily life, Webster is
Vice President of International
Eventcorp, a company which he
says "manages different types of
events, whether they be cultural,
sporting, or fundraising. It’s an
interesting venture."

He has been active in the
Douglas College Foundation
since its inception. "The Founda-
tion," Webster says, "advises in
the distribution of discretionary
funds, and makes policy for the
major campaign and the general
fundraising of the College. It’s
going very well. The organiza-
tion is getting tremendous
support from the faculty, staff
and students."
