Rowing Changes Lives:

Are you passionate about the transformative power of rowing? Do you thrive leading teams and inspiring individuals of all ages toward excellence in a collaborative environment? Our team is seeking a dynamic new Director of Rowing (DOR) to lead our growing community into an exciting future.

About Us:

Bainbridge Island Rowing (BIR) is a thriving 501(c)(3) non-profit nestled in the heart of beautiful Bainbridge Island, WA. Established with humble beginnings in 2001, BIR is proud to have debuted our fully realized and community-funded new facility in Fall 2023. Overlooking Eagle Harbor, the new Stan Pocock Legacy Rowing Center in Waterfront Park is adjacent to the downtown Winslow core and a short walk to the Seattle/ Bainbridge ferry terminal.

BIR boasts year-round youth and adult programs designed to foster a love for rowing at all experience levels and cater to both recreational and competitive goals. Our organization is currently 200 rowers strong plus a small army of dedicated volunteers, many of them parents, who all share a passion for the sport and our people. Backed by this incredible community and our talented coaching staff, BIR consistently produces regionally and nationally competitive crews.

Operating on $1.1 million in annual revenue, BIR is led by an active 17-person Board of Directors and supported by 22 part-time staff including 17 coaches.
