TERM OF OFFICE:
Those elected to the Board of Directors at the 2021 AGM will hold those positions for two years; term of office to complete in 2023.
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 a minimum of one meeting every two months, either in person in Red Deer or by video conference. Directors will also be expected to serve on one or more 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 activities.
