I’m seeking to serve as Calgary Regional Director on the UCP Board. Through my work with Calgary-Foothills and Calgary-West, I’ve seen the value of active members, dedicated volunteers and constituency associations that learn from one another. I would bring that local perspective, along with my governance and business experience, to the provincial board.
Constituency experience
Vice President of the UCP Calgary-Foothills Constituency Association since 2023 and a Calgary-West Constituency Association board member since 2024. My involvement includes campaigns, membership recruitment, fundraising and volunteer activities.
