Each year hundreds of volunteers give their time and talent to make YMCA programs and services great. There is no program or service offered at the YMCA that is not supported by volunteers including the work of the YMCA Board of Directors.

The YMCA Board of Directors considers the needs and interests of the communities of Red Deer Region, Edmonton Capital Region, Grande Prairie Region and Wood Buffalo Region and share their expertise, knowledge and resources. Each board member works to ensure the YMCA remains viable and relevant with the goal of building strong kids, healthy families and thriving communities.

 

2021 Board Volunteer Recruitment Update, YMCA of Northern Alberta

YMCA of Northern Alberta wishes to inform you that due to the ongoing complexities associated with COVID-19 and based on the recommendation of the nominating committee as supported by the Board of Directors, a formal Board recruitment process will not be conducted for the 2021 Annual General Meeting (AGM).  

As outlined in the association bylaws, the Board of Directors shall consist of not less than nine (9), or more than 24 individuals. The Board of Directors currently consists of 15 directors, all of whom the nominating committee will recommend to the voting members at the 2021 AGM to have their terms renewed or continued, thereby ensuring continuity of leadership on the Board of Directors as the association navigates through the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic.  

The next Board recruitment process is planned for the Fall of 2021, with the nominated individuals being brought forward at the 2022 AGM.  

If you have any questions about the changes to the 2021 Board recruitment process or are interested in learning more about the Board of Directors, please contact Nick Parkinson at nick.parkinson@northernalberta.ymca.ca or 780-423-9600.
