Wanna Go Green in 2018?
Posted on January 29, 2018
Green Calgary is seeking community leaders with a passion for sustainability and a wide variety of professional skills and experience to join our Board of Directors in 2017/18.
The volunteer board provides leadership to Green Calgary in the areas of organizational direction, policy, strategic planning, and fiduciary accountability. We aim to attract skilled and committed individuals to help Green Calgary fulfill its mandate.
What makes a great Green Calgary Board Member?
You’re passionate about improving our communities through the reduction of environmental impact!
You possess a track-record of community leadership and active participation.
Prior board level experience with a non-profit organization is not required but is a great asset.
We're recruiting board members with diverse backgrounds, and have a specific need for experience in the following areas:
- Environmental Programming and/or policy development and management
- Funding and grants
- Environmental issues
- Marketing, Media, Public Relations
- Communication/Branding
The board meets once a month and each board member is asked to serve on at least one standing committee. Directors are expected to make a two-year commitment but we figure you’ll enjoy this so much you’ll never leave.

In addition to providing information and raising awareness, our organization strives to provide the specific tools and resources that empower individuals and groups to make positive environmental changes.
