We Welcome Volunteers on our Board and Committees
We have eight board committees with opportunities for members to volunteer in different capacities and on different projects. Whether you have a skill in a particular area or you want to learn something new, we would love your help.
Most of our meetings take place using Zoom. Members from across Alberta are welcome. To learn more, please contact our office at 1-403-248-2044 / 1-800-566-9959.

Believe it or not we have fun on our board of directors. It is a great way to give back to your community while using your skills and knowledge to benefit others. The board typically meets 10 times per year. Committee meetings are also held 4-6 times per year. While we are a volunteer board, we pay for some training costs and travel costs outside your main city or town of residence. All board meetings are held online using Zoom. They are about two hours long.
Before joining the board, you will be given the opportunity to meet with a director to learn more about our work. Next you'll be invited to attend a board meeting so you can see first hand if the role and your personality is a good fit for our team.

In addition to the qualifications required under the Cooperatives Act of Alberta, directors must have a membership in the CMS, be committed to our mission and strategic direction, be willing to commit the time required, assume responsibilities needed to manage the cooperative effectively and be open to learning.
