Board of Directors
Board governance is a deciding component of organizational effectiveness and a crucial part of the functioning life of non-profit, public and private sector organizations alike. Effective governance ensures that objectives are realized, resources are well managed, and the interests of stakeholders are reflected in key decisions.
ABCRC is committed to following effective, transparent and accountable governance practices. ABCRC’s Board of Directors consists of shareholder representatives from beverage manufacturers and the Alberta Gaming, Liquor & Cannabis Commission (as the deemed manufacturer of all alcoholic beverages). The Directors, and non-director committee members, do not receive any remuneration for the time and talent they provide to ABCRC.
