ABOUT THE ROLE

As a volunteer Board Director, you contribute to the effective governance and strategic oversight of Calgary Housing. This role requires navigating a complex environment that balances public accountability, shareholder oversight, financial sustainability, and a clear social mandate. Directors are responsible for overseeing the management of the organization’s business and affairs, including financial performance, asset stewardship, risk, governance, and long-term sustainability, within a complex public sector and shareholder driven environment. Directors work closely with management to guide long-term strategy while maintaining strong governance discipline.

Board Directors participate in setting strategic direction, providing oversight of organizational performance and risk, and supporting the stewardship of significant public assets. Directors are expected to bring independent judgment, thoughtful challenge, and a commitment to acting in the best interest of Calgary Housing and the communities it serves.

Calgary Housing offers a unique opportunity to apply experience, judgment, and leadership to work that has a direct and lasting impact on people’s lives. Board service combines public purpose with the strategic, financial, and governance complexity associated with stewarding a large housing and real estate organization. For individuals motivated by stewardship, service, and the opportunity to help shape the future of affordable housing in Calgary, this role offers the chance to make a genuine difference.
