Providing mission-driven guidance, sound and strategic direction and acting as tireless ambassadors, our Board of Directors is inspiring and enabling genomics solutions to improve the lives of Albertans today and in the future.
Call for Board Members
We are looking for visionary leaders to join our Board of Directors to help shape the future of the life sciences sector. This is an opportunity to influence strategy, drive innovation, and provide governance that enables meaningful impact.
We are actively seeking expertise in forestry, communications, data analytics and artificial intelligence, legal, and strategic business planning – individuals who bring strong judgment, relevant experience, and a forward-looking perspective.
We believe better decisions come from diverse perspectives. We are committed to building a Board that reflects a wide range of backgrounds, experiences, and voices, and we strongly encourage applications from those who will help broaden that diversity.
If you are ready to apply your expertise at the board level and contribute to our organization’s direction and impact, we invite you to submit your expression of interest and qualifications to msarkar-banks@genomealberta.ca.
