We are currently seeking nominations for four Board of Directors positions from individuals who are passionate about the Sport Sector and who will help lead, develop and implement the ASLA’s operational and strategic plans.

The four (4) nominees must be willing to serve voluntarily on the Board for a minimum of three years: June 24, 2025 - 2028 AGM (the fourth position is for an initial period of 2 years ending at the 2027 AGM).

Skills required for ASLA Board

Our organization is transitioning from a startup phase where we operated with the efforts of only volunteer board members to incorporating paid staff into our operations and having the Board move toward being a governance board. We still need our board members to balance good board governance with some operations and administration skills.

We are looking for visionary, strategic and critical thinkers who are well networked in the province and ideally have previous board-related experience. We are also looking for persons who have strong administration, operations and ideally marketing and/or technology skills and could be available to support or pitch in on some of the operational tasks required to move the organization forward.

What can we offer you?

For those who are elected to the Board of Directors by ASLA members, you will benefit from:

  • Influencing, shaping and strengthening Sport at the provincial level;

  • Widening your network and demonstrating collaboration at a board-level;

  • Expanding your knowledge and developing your personal attributes; and

  • Taking pride in the achievements of the ASLA as a result of your personal contribution and efforts.
