The Community Foundation of Southeaste­rn Alberta is seeking volunteers willing to dedicate time to making a difference they say truly matters on the board of directors.

The foundation is looking for people who would be willing to serve for a full three year term with the possibilit­y of another consecutiv­e term.

“It’s an excellent opportunit­y to share your knowledge, gain practical experience in effective board functionin­g, and establish valuable profession­al connection­s. Your involvemen­t will directly contribute to enhancing the quality of life for the people of Southeaste­rn Alberta through permanent endowments, responsibl­e grants, and inspiring community leadership initiative­s,” said CFSEA in a press release.

Board members will be asked to commit to roughly five volunteer hours a month, as well as lend their skills and expertise to further advancing the Foundation’s goals and cause.

“CFSEA is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for the people of Southeaste­rn Alberta by developing permanent endowments, making responsibl­e grants, and inspiring community leadership,” said CFSEA.

As a non-government­al, non-political, and non-religious independen­t organizati­on, CFSEA operates under the guidance of a diverse group of community-minded volunteer Board of Directors. CFSEA’s mission is to create meaningful connection­s between donors and local charities for the permanent benefit of Southeaste­rn Alberta.

Board members are asked to attend one monthly meeting, as well as take part in at least one CFSEA committee aligned with their interests and expertise, as they serve as an ambassador for the foundation and their programs.

Applicants interested in contributi­ng to the mission and operations of CFSEA are invited to submit a letter of interest outlining their passion for community involvemen­t and their relevant business knowledge to Kyle Pudwell, at board@cfsea.ca, by April 15.
