Earlier this year, CPA Alberta announced the 2026 Achievement Award recipients, which include:
- Lifetime Achievement Award
- CPA Education Foundation Impact Award
- Fellows of the Chartered Professional Accountants
- Distinguished Accomplishment Awards
- Early Achievement Awards
Ahead of the Elevate Awards Gala this May, we asked our 2026 Achievement Award recipients a series of questions designed to look beyond the recognition and into the people behind it.
What motivates them to give back? What values guide their decisions? What lessons have shaped their journey? And what personal motto keeps them grounded?
Their responses offer insight into the mindset, purpose, and character that define this year’s honourees—individuals who are not only accomplished in their fields, but intentional in how they lead, contribute, and show up for others.
Detailed biographies and reflections from recipients are now available on the CPA Alberta website, offering a closer look at how they are making a difference across the profession and in their communities.
These remarkable individuals will be honoured at the Elevate Awards Gala on Saturday, May 23.
Congratulations again to all 2026 recipients.
Nominations for the 2027 CPA Alberta Achievement Awards will be open from July 1 to October 31, 2026. Learn more about the nomination process for each award category on our website. Please be aware that the criteria for each award category for the 2026 cycle will be updated online after June 30, 2026.
