Join the BOARD of Directors or Become an Auditor

Are you interested in serving on the Board?

AMTPA has seven Board of Director positions and two auditor positions. The term of each position shall be a minimum of two years and the terms will alternate to ensure continuity. The President, Treasurer, Director of Education, the generic Director position, and one auditor will be elected in odd-number years. The Vice-President, Secretary, Director of Communications, Director of Education, and one auditor will be elected in even-number years.

Requirements

Members who are in good standing are eligible for nomination to the board. Please ensure that you will have the time to devote to the responsibilities that are required.

Time commitment

The board meets virtually every other month for a general meeting, once following the annual conference and AGM, and possibly an additional one if needed throughout the year.  

Meetings are held during working hours and are booked for an hour and a half. The officers of the board must attend at least one-half of the general meetings, or a minimum of three each year. 

Board members are expected to commit to about five hours per month for association duties and it will depend on that individual's circumstance if their work for AMTPA can be carried out during work hours or as a volunteer during off-hours.

• Create four online webinars per year
• Coordinate the AGM held at annual conference in September
• Send out newsletters and be available to answer member questions
• Review bylaws, policies and procedures
• Develop curriculum to achieve an accreditation for Alberta tax professionals
• Update content on the associations website
• Support Committees: 
• • by ensuring at least one director is on a Committee; and 
  • with financial requests motioned by the board
