The Board Leadership Conference held on March 16 2013 was a huge success. It marked the 10th anniversary of the conference and saw over 180 board members & Charity leaders, representing 91 organisations, engaged in animated discussions and debates around good governance. Focused on the theme of Lead – Create – Innovate – Collaborate this year’s conference provided a rich programme covering a wide range of topics.

Our keynote speaker the Honourable Heather Klimchuk, Minister of Alberta Culture inspired thought and discussion and during and just after a lunch a panel of local Board Warriors – individuals with long and successful histories of serving on non-profit Boards in Edmonton – shared some of the wisdom they have gathered about when and how Boards and Board members experience success.

The day saw a variety of expert-led workshops that gave delegates the latest thinking and practical tools to help them successfully lead their organisation. Topics ranged from the responsibilities of various Board roles to successful Board recruitment and retention to effective use of social media to fundraising and policy basics.

We are proud to say that 10 years later, this one of a kind event continues to be organized by a collaborative team of passionate individuals including local entrepreneurs, staff of local non-profit organizations, and public servants.
