The Alberta Historical Resources Foundation board of directors has a few openings.
We are accepting applications from people interested in joining the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation‘s board of directors.
Founded four decades ago, the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation has evolved into a complex agency that serves a range of stakeholders in many ways. The foundation is the primary source of Government of Alberta funding for heritage projects. The foundation focuses on a few key objectives:
- providing financial and program support to individuals and organizations engaged in researching, preserving, and promoting greater appreciation for Alberta’s heritage;
- naming geographical features in the province;
- staging events that support the heritage community; and
- acting as an appeal body for certain decisions made in Alberta Culture.
Members are appointed for terms of up to three years. The board meets four times per year for about a day and a half per meeting at locations around the province. Board members are also occasionally asked to attend events within the heritage community.
Interested individuals can submit their applications through the Government of Alberta Careers website. The posting number is 1019525. The competition closes on October 3, 2013.
Should you have any questions about the board positions, please contact Matthew Wangler, Executive Director of the Alberta Historical Resources Foundation. Mr. Wangler can be reached at 780-438-8503 (toll-free by first dialing 310-0000) or matthew.wangler@gov.ab.ca. We look forward to hearing from you.
