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.

More than just networking—it’s a growth engine rooted in trust

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.

Your fellow members become your salesforce—trust-driven, consistent, and powerful.

Get seen. Get referred.

Creative, consistent social media exposure puts your business in front of more eyes, more often.

Networking that doesn't suck.

Barbecues, golf tournaments, and good times—because relationships grow faster when you’re having fun.

Where business feels like family.

OBE is more than leads—it’s a tight-knit crew that’s got your back in business and in life.

Community first. Growth always.

From casual chats to client wins, OBE turns weekly meetings into lifelong opportunity.
