Those elected to the Board of Directors at the 2017 AGM will hold those positions for two years; term of office to complete in 2019.

REQUIREMENTS OF A BOARD MEMBER:
Generally, the Board operates as a governance entity, meaning that it sets high level strategic direction as opposed to having a direct hand in the day-to-day activities of the operation. Directors should be prepared to attend approximately one meeting every two months in Red Deer, Alberta. Directors may also be asked to sit on various committees to provide more direct guidance regarding key association strategic objectives.

Board Members are not paid. However, reasonable expenses are reimbursed for travel and meals when attending Board meetings or other sanctioned association business. Interested members can download a nomination form.
