Make a difference at CPHR Alberta

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, talent and expertise to represent the interests of fellow CPHR Alberta members and stakeholders.

Board volunteers provide oversight and guidance in a number of key areas. In 2023, 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 recruiting for three (3) three-year Director positions commencing in May 2024.

The CPHR Alberta Board of Directors value diversity, equity, and inclusion, and supports the election and appointment of diverse candidates to the Board. The Board believes that having a diverse Board contributes to a balanced and effective Board – one that is well-positioned to address the changing needs of the organization and our membership.
