With grant money in 1995 a portion of the grant was used to pay a coordinator's fee. The coordinator was responsible for administrative and programming activities including ongoing and new sources of promotion of  OKWA (for the centre, the programs and the activities), visiting artist arrangements, grant report writing in consultation with board, statistical and photographic documentation of events, newsletter development, restructuring of board to meet needs of organization, training volunteers, community outreach and fundraising events.  An important task of the coordinator was the consolidation of the organizational structure and development of programming strategies for the ongoing operations of the OKWA. These tasks were accomplished in cooperation with the OKWA board of directors via the AGM and ongoing board meetings. Jocelyn Purdie had this position.
