Club Structure

As a not-for-profit organization, BGC operations are led by a professional staff who work in cooperation with a volunteer Board of Directors. 

The Board is composed of individuals elected by the membership at the organization’s annual meeting. They are responsible for ensuring adherence to legal standards, ethical norms, provisions of the organization’s By-Laws and Articles of Incorporation, and establishing pertinent operating policies and procedures.

BGC is made up of three equally important and independent gymnastics program areas: recreational, competitive women’s artistic, and competitive rhythmic.
