Stewart, Owner of Salmon Arm's Rainbow Glass; has been a 'Backs Corporate Sponsor since the team's inaugural season; and has provided numerous life-coaching sessions with 'Backs players, and staff, over the past number of years of service within the 'Backs growing organization.
General Manager Troy Mick says the move will add stability and a community presence to the Front Office "We can't say enough about Phil as a person, and professional; his positive demeanor and local knowledge are exactly the qualities this organization prides itself on; and we're absolutely thrilled to have him as a day-to-day member of our staff."
Stewart, who has been splitting his time between his business, and the 'Backs Office, over the past number of weeks, says he's has confidence in the future of club "When we add the element of hard work to our goal, the results will be much more rewarding; there are no short-cuts to success."
Mick says the move will allow the 'Backs to grow relationships with even more Shuswap business owners and community groups, "Phil has a great relationship with so many community-minded people; not just in Salmon Arm, but the Shuswap as a whole, and we're eager to see how we can further involve what we're doing at the Shaw Centre with our fantastic, growing, community."
The team would like to officially welcome Phil, and his Family, into the organization; as we look forward to future success – with the help of one of the finest personalities the Shuswap has to offer.
