Trustees earn certificates through Trustee Governance Program

The Alberta School Boards Association partnered with the University of Calgary School of Continuing Education to offer a pilot cohort of the ASBA Trustee Governance Program for the 2022/2023 school year. The Trustee Governance Program is designed to enable and empower trustees to expand their professional knowledge.
This program integrates theory and practice of leadership and effective governance. As trustees move through the program, they will learn how to apply meaningful strategies to different tasks and scenarios in their role as a trustee.
Chair Allison Purcell and Vice-Chair Christine Light participated in this cohort, and completed 56 hours of the following courses:
• Financial Literacy
• Risk Management
• Strategic Thinking
• Systems Thinking
• Strategic Planning
• Change Foundations
• Conflict Management: Skills for Leaders
• Digital Transformation: Building Capabilities for the Future.
Tuesday night, during the October Board of Trustees meeting, Lethbridge School Division Supt. Mike Nightingale presented Purcell and Light with their certificates.
