The Opportunity &nbsp;Alberta Lawyers Indemnity Association ("ALIA") is recruiting to fill two positions on its board of directors (the “Board”) that have become vacant as two long-serving directors (“Directors”) will reach their term limits in the first half of 2026.&nbsp;Although all individuals with experience and an interest in oversight of a professional liability program are encouraged to apply, this year ALIA will be giving preference to:<ol><li>A lawyer.</li><li>An insurance professional with an understanding of reciprocals/mutuals.</li></ol>Experience serving on governance boards is considered to be an asset.Information regarding ALIA, the roles of Directors and the Board, required skills and attributes, remuneration, time commitment, and the application process are set out below.The OrganizationALIA is the member-funded, non-profit corporation that manages Alberta’s mandatory indemnity program for lawyers in private practice (“Subscribers”), providing economic and reputational protection to them and compensation to members of the public who have suffered certain financial losses due to their actions. 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. Non-Independent Directors are not compensated, although all Directors are reimbursed for any costs incurred, in accordance with the Board’s policy.Time commitment varies with committee involvement, with five scheduled Board meetings and four or five scheduled committee meetings per year, depending on the committee. Additional Board, committee, and ad hoc work group meetings may be scheduled if required. Meetings are generally two to four hours in duration. New Directors are also expected to attend an onboarding session, and all Directors are expected to attend strategic retreats when scheduled. Time is also required to prepare for the meetings.Board meetings are usually held in Calgary at the offices of the Law Society / ALIA. With the permission of the Board Chair, attendance at Board meetings may be virtual through video conferencing. Committee meetings, however, are currently all virtual, via video conferencing.Directors will be appointed for a term of up to three years (renewable), commencing in May 2026.Applications&nbsp;Interested applicants should apply by Friday, October 31, 2025, by visiting:&nbsp;<a href="https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/public/careers/" target="_blank">https://www.lawsociety.ab.ca/public/careers/</a>

THE OPPORTUNITYOperation Eyesight is an international development organization working to eliminate avoidable vision loss and bring quality eye health care to communities where it’s needed most. We are seeking two dedicated and enthusiastic professionals to join our expanding team as Major Gifts Officers, helping to grow and strengthen our donor community.&nbsp;Reporting to the Manager, Fund Development, the Major Gifts Officers will be proactive, self-starters who thrive on building long-term relationships. The primary focus of this role will be securing new gift commitments of $10,000+ by soliciting, cultivating and stewarding new and existing donors. With a strong emphasis on developing new prospects (individuals, corporations and foundations), the successful candidates will show initiative, creativity and persistence in connecting with prospective donors whose values align with those of Operation Eyesight.The ideal candidates bring proven experience closing major gifts at the five-figure level and above, preferably in the non-profit sector, or in business development in the private sector, and demonstrate the ability to move donor relationships from initial contact to meaningful, lasting partnerships.&nbsp;The Major Gifts Officers will be part of a high performing and successful Fund Development team that works collaboratively with International and Country Programme colleagues and the Marketing &amp; Communication team to create and deliver donor engagement strategies and materials. Equally comfortable working independently or in collaboration with colleagues and volunteers, the Major Gifts Officers will take ownership of their portfolio, contributing to the overall fundraising strategy while ensuring every donor interaction reflects care, respect, and a focus on shared impact.While the Operation Eyesight head office is located in Calgary, Alberta, we welcome applications from across Canada as this position can be performed remotely. Occasional domestic travel may be required.&nbsp;ABOUT OPERATION EYESIGHT CANADA&nbsp;Operation Eyesight, founded in 1963 in Calgary, is an international development organization working to eliminate avoidable blindness (blindness that can either be cured or prevented) in partnership with local hospitals and governments. Recognized as a leader in its field, Operation Eyesight invests in sustainable eye health treatment, blindness prevention and community development to create a better life for people now and into the future.We are a global community with&nbsp;more than 65&nbsp;<a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/about/our-team/" target="_blank">staff</a> worldwide and a team of more than 4,600 frontline workers and partners. With country offices and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/about/board-of-directors/" target="_blank">boards of directors</a>&nbsp;across four continents, Operation Eyesight offers programs in Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Sri Lanka, and Zambia. Within Canada, Operation Eyesight provides awareness, research and advocacy and is currently undertaking projects to improve access to eye care services for medically underserved groups.Our work contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal #3: Good Health and Well-Being, as well as the goals related to poverty, quality education, gender equality, water and sanitation, and partnerships.&nbsp;Click&nbsp;<a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/sustainable-development-goals/" target="_blank">here</a>&nbsp;to learn more.In 2024, Operation Eyesight was named&nbsp;<a href="https://www.moneysense.ca/spend/best-charities-for-charitable-impact-in-canada/" target="_blank">top 10 Impact Charity and top 10 International Charity</a> by Charity Intelligence for the seventh year in a row.Global Strategy 2024 - 2028Moving forward, Operation Eyesight will expand service reach to include more communities, and more determinants of health related to eye health to improve the quality of life for more individuals. This work will be achieved by scaling up interventions while adopting innovative solutions, by creating new partnerships while strengthening existing partnerships, and by generating more awareness and support for the organizational mission across its countries of operation. By the end of 2024, 1,582 villages or communities were declared avoidable blindness-free. By the end of 2028, the goal is to make this declaration for 2,900 villages. Operation Eyesight aims to expand to five new countries by 2028, going from 10 countries at the end of 2023 to 15 countries by the end of 2028.&nbsp;PrioritiesCommunity Eye HealthWe train local community health workers who conduct door-to-door eye health screenings, refer patients for&nbsp;treatment and provide general health education on topics including maternal and newborn health, immunization and nutrition.&nbsp;Hospital StrengtheningWe invest in hospital equipment and infrastructure, provide training for healthcare professionals and establish vision centres at the community level.&nbsp;Integrated Eye HealthEye health is linked with a range of other development areas. We’re working to strengthen areas of overlap between primary eye care&nbsp;and primary health care in our countries of operation. In doing so, we’re able to address the root causes of avoidable blindness.&nbsp;Disease Control (School Eye Health)We are addressing the major causes of avoidable vision loss: uncorrected refractive error, cataract, trachoma, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy and other conditions. From eye screenings and prevention to treatment and follow-up care, our partners provide comprehensive eye health services.&nbsp;Research &amp; Advocacy&nbsp;Driven by a wealth of community-based data, we are contributing to a global body of health research and informing national eye health policies.In Canada, we are advocating for eye health care to be incorporated in universal health care. We are part of a coalition of eye health organizations collaborating to inform Canada’s National Strategy for Eye Care Act, which was passed by the federal government in November 2024.Fundraising at Operation EyesightFrom 2022 to 2024, Operation Eyesight had an average annual global revenue of over $7 million. In 2024, major gifts contributed $800,000, alongside revenue from annual giving, grants, international partnerships, and legacy giving, including a generous bequest left in 2024.&nbsp;Operation Eyesight is investing in its future through fundraising infrastructure and technology, growing the team, expanding capacity, and increasing awareness about the organization and its mission. In 2024, the fundraising team grew by four to increase efforts to build our donor base across generations and geographies. We have also laid the foundation for global revenue growth by investing in IT systems for global donations and staff training.&nbsp;Currently, Operation Eyesight has charitable status and board of directors in Canada, Ghana, India, Kenya, the UK, the US and Zambia.&nbsp;Examples of top fundraising priorities in 2025:Bringing world-class cataract care to Nandi and Isiolo Counties, KenyaDonor support has enabled Operation Eyesight to invest in rural Eye Units across Kenya to reach some of its most underserved communities.&nbsp;Now, the focus is on two counties where the need is especially urgent: Nandi and Isiolo. Patients in these regions must travel over 100 kilometres to receive cataract surgery, an impossible journey for many, especially women, children and seniors.&nbsp; Fundraising efforts will equip Miteitei Sub County Hospital in Nandi County and Garbatulla Sub County Hospital in Isiolo County with the tools and training needed to perform cataract surgeries locally.&nbsp;Life-changing cataract surgery to nine countriesCataracts are the leading cause of avoidable blindness, affecting over 100 million people worldwide, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, where access to treatment is limited.&nbsp;In many rural areas of Bangladesh, Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Kenya, Liberia, Malawi, Nepal and Zambia, eye health services are scarce, and many mistakenly believe blindness is an inevitable part of aging.&nbsp;With donor support, Operation Eyesight can provide accessible cataract surgeries to ensure that people can continue to work, attend school, and actively participate in their communities—empowering them to build brighter futures.ADDITIONAL INFORMATION<ul><li><a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/about/our-story/" target="_blank">Operation Eyesight Universal's Story</a></li><li><a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/annualreport2024/" target="_blank">Annual Report 2024</a></li><li><a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Operation-Eyesight-Canada-Financials-2024.pdf" target="_blank">Financial Report 2024</a></li><li><a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/03/GlobalStrategy2024-28_OperationEyesight.pdf" target="_blank">Global Strategy 2024 – 2028</a></li><li><a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/caseforsupport/" target="_blank">Case for Support</a></li><li><a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/where-we-work/canada/" target="_blank">Operation Eyesight in Canada</a></li><li><a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/latest-stories/" target="_blank">Impact Stories</a></li><li><a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/news/" target="_blank">News Coverage</a></li><li><a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/programming-areas/" target="_blank">Programming Areas</a></li><li><a href="https://www.operationeyesight.com/worldsightday/" target="_blank">World Sight Day</a></li></ul>KEY DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES<ul><li>Identify, cultivate, and solicit philanthropic support by developing and maintaining relationships with current donors and prospects ($10,000+), including individuals, corporations and foundations.</li><li>Develop and implement individual donor strategies to guide donors through the fundraising cycle.</li><li>Increase donor contributions by establishing and nurturing meaningful relationships, understanding donor interests and capacity to give.</li><li>Actively identify and qualify new major donor prospects, securing discovery meetings to establish and strengthen relationships.</li><li>Where appropriate, liaise with senior leadership to effectively cultivate, solicit and steward relationships.</li><li>Prepare related briefing notes and call reports, individualized solicitation proposals, presentations and other correspondence.</li><li>Provide ongoing stewardship and high touch experiences to our major donors, with a focus on reporting and donor retention.</li><li>Maintain donor and prospect records including entering and maintaining solicitation and donor information, call reports, proposals and referral tracking.</li><li>Monitor and evaluate fundraising performance, track donor interactions, and maintain accurate records in the database.</li><li>Stay informed on best practices, trends, and regulations in philanthropy and fundraising and share knowledge and insights.</li><li>Work collaboratively with other departments and model behaviour that encourages a mutually supportive team environment.</li></ul>QUALIFICATIONS AND COMPETENCIES&nbsp;<ul><li>Demonstrated fundraising experience, with a proven track record of success in major gift development from high-capacity individuals, foundations and/or corporations.
