Nominations for election to the CPA Alberta Board are now open.
This year, there are two open board positions, including one in which an incumbent is running for re-election. For more details, you can access the CPA Alberta Board Nomination package on the CPA Alberta website.
Nominations must be received no later than 4:30 p.m. on Friday, April 26.
CPA Alberta is committed to building a profession where the voices and experiences of all Alberta CPAs are reflected in the governance of the profession. As such, we encourage applications for board positions from all Alberta CPAs who are members in good standing—particularly those members of equity-seeking groups that have been historically underrepresented.
The CPA Alberta Governance Committee has identified the following competency areas, professional experience, and characteristics that would strengthen the diversity of thought and expertise of the CPA Alberta Board:
Capabilities and technical skills:
- A CPA with legal expertise.
Demographics currently under-represented on the Board:
- A CPA residing in a rural community.
- A CPA who received their designation in 2014 or later.
- A CPA with a foreign designation, a newcomer to Canada, or someone with international experience.
- Our board has made significant strides in diversity, but our goal is to further broaden our candidate pool. At present, no Board members identify as having a disability, and we are seeking to include more ethnic diversity.
Please note that there is no expectation for a single candidate to meet all the above criteria for skills or demographics.
Voting for Board positions and other regulatory matters will take place from Tuesday, May 21 to Friday, June 14. Results will be announced at the CPA Alberta Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Thursday, June 20. Formal notice and details of the CPA Alberta AGM will be provided at a later date.
