Board Vote 2026

This year, seven candidates are running for two open positions on the CPA Alberta Board, including two incumbents seeking re-election.

The CPA Alberta Governance Committee emphasizes the core skill sets for CPA Alberta Board Members are:

  • Governance expertise: Experience on a Board of Directors or related body providing oversight with regard to the way rules, norms, and actions are structured, sustained, regulated, and held accountable within an organization. 
  • High level of strategic planning and thinking: Experience in defining and planning the strategy, direction, timing, priorities, and allocation of resources that aligns with an organization’s mission, vision, and purpose.

Please note:

  • Voting is open from August 7 until 12 p.m. (MDT) on September 2.
  • There are no proposed changes to the organization’s governing documents, so no Regulatory Vote is necessary this year.
