Board of Directors

Our Intrepid Board of Directors


The ABMI Board of Directors is a broad cross-section of industry and government representatives that have an interest in and care about biodiversity management. The Board plays an oversight role and provides direction to the operations of ABMI. Board directors have a fiduciary responsibility to represent the objects of the Institute as a not-for-profit incorporated entity.

The Board has at least seven and as many as fourteen directors who represent the Government of Alberta, environmental non-governmental organizations, the forest, energy and agriculture sectors, and the research community. Board members serve staggered three-year terms with the possibility of renewal.
