ALIA operates as a separate financial entity from the Law Society of Alberta (“Law Society”), ALIA’s shareholder.&nbsp;The Law Society, created pursuant to Alberta’s Legal Profession Act (the “Act”), regulates the legal profession and the approximately 12,300 lawyers who practice law in the province, promoting a high standard of legal services and professional conduct. The Act also requires the Law Society to establish and maintain an indemnity program for lawyers.&nbsp;Pursuant to that requirement, in 1988, the Law Society incorporated a subsidiary corporation (ALIA) to manage the professional liability indemnity program for Alberta lawyers. Every Subscriber – currently approximately 8,100 – must purchase a base level of professional liability coverage, misappropriation coverage, and cyber coverage through ALIA. ALIA handles all claims against Subscribers.&nbsp;ALIA is committed to creating a diverse environment and fostering an inclusive Board and workplace in which individual differences are recognized, appreciated, respected, and responded to in ways that fully develop and utilize each person’s talents and strengths.Role of Directors and BoardAll Directors are appointed by the Law Society’s governance board (“Benchers”), and the Board reports to the Benchers through the Board Chair.The Board is responsible for supervising the indemnity program and providing financial oversight for ALIA, including approving ALIA’s budget and financial statements and supervising the management, administration, and investments of the indemnity program.&nbsp;In managing ALIA’s business and affairs, the Board is responsible for ensuring that ALIA operates in accordance with the Rules of the Law Society of Alberta, all applicable legislation –&nbsp;including the Act and the Companies Act – and all other relevant governing documents and policies.&nbsp;For further information about ALIA and its Board, please click&nbsp;<a href="https://alia.ca/about-alia/" target="_blank">here</a>.Skills and Attributes RequiredAll Directors are expected to have informed judgment, integrity, personal accountability, strategic thinking, initiative, good communication skills, sufficient time available for duties, interest in the indemnity program, and a commitment to ALIA’s mission, core values, and goals.&nbsp;Remuneration and Time CommitmentIndependent Directors – those Directors who are not members of the Law Society or employees of the Law Society or ALIA – receive compensation for their service, set by the Benchers.
