About the Role
The Company is seeking exceptional individuals to join its Board of Directors, particularly those with strong connections in corporate Alberta, especially in the energy, real estate, and professional services sectors. The ideal candidates will have a wide network and the ability to open doors for the organization, as well as the financial acumen and experience necessary to strengthen the Finance and Audit Committee. The Board is particularly interested in individuals who can contribute to audience and brand-building, with a focus on expanding the company's reach and impact. While a background in dance is not required, a deep conviction in the value of great arts institutions to the cultural fabric of a community is essential.
