As a registered charity, APARC depends on our volunteer Board of Directors for guidance and governance. Our Board of Directors creates and reviews policy, provides fiscal oversight, helps raise needed funds, and makes important organizational decisions. The Board is made up of people just like you: community members who believe in our mission of saving and re-homing lost and abandoned companion animals. We are looking for people from all different backgrounds and a variety of skill sets – you don’t have to be directly involved in animal welfare or even have pets of your own!

The Board of Directors for Alberta Pound and Rescue Centres (APARC) is currently seeking nominees to join a diverse group of members who collaboratively contribute to the organization’s commitment to enrich the lives of people and companion animals through animal sheltering, programs and services, and community engagement.

The Board of Directors is a governance board, comprised of up to a maximum of 15 members. The Board defines the organization’s vision and mission, provides strategic direction, sets priorities and exercises its fiduciary responsibility. The Board delegates responsibility for daily operations and our employees to our CEO.

In 2022, the Board of Directors is recruiting for individuals with the following:

• Specialized skills and experience in:

  • Board Governance Experience (a prerequisite for any application)

  • Human Resources Leadership

  • Animal Health and Welfare

  • Information Technology & Cyber Security

  • Fund Development

• Ability and willingness to take an active, participatory role in board and committee meetings

If this unique opportunity is a fit and is of interest, please submit a covering letter and resume to info@aparc.ca Please ensure you highlight past board governance experience and how you are a fit with the needs of the APARC Board of Directors.
