Empowering local business leaders from Peachland to Kelowna
Join a community dedicated to excellence, growth, and meaningful connections.

Who we are.
Founded in 1999, Okanagan Business Excellence is a West Kelowna-based networking group built on trust, referrals, and results. What began as a small business breakfast meeting has grown into a thriving organization of 30–40 vetted professionals—each representing a unique industry.
At OBE, we do things differently:
- One pro per industry ensures collaboration, not competition.
- Every member is vetted for quality, integrity, and reputation.
- Weekly meetings at the West Kelowna Yacht Club create consistent, high-value connections.
- Our leadership team and charter ensure structure and accountability.
From referrals to real relationships, mentorship to community events, OBE is more than networking—it’s a business family that’s shaping the future of local entrepreneurship in Kelowna.

At Okanagan Business Excellence, we’ve built more than a networking group—we’ve created a thriving ecosystem where referrals, visibility, connection, and community fuel real business growth. From becoming each other’s sales team to sharing laughs at summer BBQs, OBE members don’t just show up—they show up for each other. Here’s what makes the OBE experience unlike anything else in West Kelowna.
Referrals that actually work.
Get seen. Get referred.
Networking that doesn't suck.
Where business feels like family.
Community first. Growth always.

This has created a wonderful network of people who I can refer to and go to for goods and services. I can trust they will look after clients I send them to for great service and quality.
I rely on the members of Okanagan Business Excellence for their business expertise, and personal relationships. Being a part of the incredible growth of the organization has given me a very strong sense of accomplishment and pride. It has also been a valuable source of client referrals.
My business purpose is all about adding value… and what better way than to be able to share with a client of mine names of people I have confidence in. OBE provides this added value.
Thanks to Denise of Manchester Signs for a quick turnaround and an awesome job on some letterhead.
I have been a member of the OBE for 5 years now and the business people that are in this group are amazing. Top notch at what they do and top notch helping you get in touch with a business if they can not help you. This group was to begin with a way to meet other Business people now they are friends and I trust every single one of them when it comes to getting referrals for Business.
Being a member of the OBE for 15 years and utilizing dozens of members services and products over the yeasr have never left me disappointed. This is a great group of professionals to work with.
