Calling all Leaders!!! Hello...Can anyone hear me?
Just this past week, I joined with City officials to meet with representatives from the Alberta Association for Police Governance to consider our options for effective oversight of the complex role of policing. While we still have a great deal of work and research to complete before embarking on a specific direction, the real essence of this article was the comments from the AAPG representatives about volunteer Board Member recruitment.
The representatives joined us from Fort Saskatchewan and Camrose, and were perplexed when we described the difficulties often encountered in recruiting Board Members for various city & regional organizations. They indicated that it was not difficult to identify and secure commitment from solid forward thinking community leaders to step forward to serve on their respective Police Commissions. This is a far cry from what we are experiencing here in Lloydminster.
While we acknowledge the economic environment, employment situation, age demographic and generally super busy lives of most residents, there are countless volunteer leadership appointments that must be filled to ensure that Lloydminster moves forward in a healthy, happy, and progressive manner, serving all sectors within our community.
If you, or someone you know could bring expertise, passion and commitment to any of the following organizations, please contact the Office of the Mayor @780.871.8327. We need to identify good community minded people for many emerging appointments:
. Lloydminster Economic Development Corporation
. Lloydminster Housing Authority
. Lloydminster Handi-Van Society
. Lloydminster Library Board
. Barr Colony Heritage Cultural Centre Board
. Lloydminster Community Grant Advisory Board
. Vic Juba Theatre Operations Board
Until next week…
