Bring Your Voice to the Table - ACCA Seeks New Board Members
Help Shape the Future of Alberta's

Strong co-operatives don't happen by chance—they're built by leaders who are committed to collaboration, good governance, and strengthening their communities.
The Alberta Community & Co-operative Association (ACCA) is seeking passionate and engaged individuals to join our Board of Directors. If you're looking for an opportunity to make a lasting impact on Alberta's co-operative sector, we'd love to hear from you.
Why Serve on the ACCA Board?
As Alberta's provincial co-operative association, ACCA works to strengthen, promote, and advance the co-operative business model through advocacy, education, leadership development, and member engagement.
As a director, you'll help provide strategic leadership that supports:
Growing and strengthening Alberta's co-operative sector
Raising awareness of the co-operative business model
Advancing government relations and sector advocacy
Supporting education, networking, and leadership opportunities
Ensuring ACCA remains a strong, sustainable organization serving its members
This is an opportunity to help shape the future of co-operation in Alberta while working alongside leaders from a wide range of industries and communities.
Who Should Apply?
We welcome expressions of interest from individuals representing all types of co-operatives, including consumer, agricultural, financial, housing, worker, renewable energy, community service, and multi-stakeholder co-operatives.

A passion for the co-operative model and its values
Strategic thinking and collaborative leadership
Governance experience—or a willingness to learn
Financial literacy and sound decision-making
Strong communication and relationship-building skills
A commitment to supporting Alberta's co-operative community
Whether you're an experienced board director or an emerging leader looking to contribute at the provincial level, your perspective is valuable.

Join a Community of Leaders
Serving on the ACCA Board is more than a governance role—it's an opportunity to collaborate with leaders from across Alberta, influence the future of the co-operative sector, and help ensure co-operatives continue to thrive for generations to come.
If you're ready to contribute your experience, ideas, and leadership, we encourage you to submit an expression of interest.
