To ensure transparency between our Board of Directors, members and key stakeholders, we share post-meeting messages to inform the steps taken towards advancing our profession and ensuring a financially stable association. The Board of Directors met on June 24, 2025, and the Board’s key messages are as follows: Financial Update CPHR Alberta remains in a stable financial position with a forecasted break-even year-end as per the approved Budget.
