Become a CPHR Alberta champion!

Help set the direction for your association on the CPHR Alberta Board of Directors.

From self-regulation and the future of our designation to relationships with other provincial HR associations to the sustainability of CPHR Alberta itself, the Board of Directors is the governing voice of CPHR Alberta. Our volunteer Directors share their time and talent to represent the interests of fellow CPHR Alberta members and stakeholders.

Board volunteers provide oversight and guidance in a number of key areas. In 2024, the Board, alongside CPHR Alberta operations, continued delivering on the association's priorities that were developed in the 2020 strategic plan.

To continue this positive momentum, we are seeking two (2) Chartered Members of CPHR Alberta that have, or are willing to make, connections in the community that will assist the Board's linkage to stakeholders, and up to two (2) public members with specific expertise noted below.

To complement the existing Board of Directors, we are specifically looking for candidates that are board ready and have experience and/or expertise in the following areas: 

• Strategic business leadership experience;
• Financial acumen and financial management expertise;
• Legal expertise; and/or
• Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Accessibility experience within an Indigenous lens 

We highly value diversity and support the election and appointment of diverse candidates to the Board. The Board believes that having directors of diverse gender, race and ethnicity, along with varied skills, perspectives and experiences, contributes to a balanced and effective Board – one that is well-positioned to address the changing needs of the organization and our membership.
