Vote for me: Because I’m committed to community, collaboration, and ensuring every Co-op member benefits from shared growth and local investment.
Education:
Attributes: I bring broad leadership experience in operations, governance, and community-focused growth, along with a deep appreciation for the cooperative model. As a long-time Calgarian and leader in corporate services, I understand the importance of balancing financial performance with social impact and local investment. My husband’s 10 years with Servus Credit Union strengthened my connection to the co-operative values of member ownership, integrity, and shared success. I’m passionate about contributing to organizations that strengthen communities, create opportunities for local businesses, and deliver long-term value to members. I believe Calgary Co-op plays a vital role in shaping a resilient, community-driven economy, and I would be honoured to support that mission as a board member.
Why serve: I want to serve on the Calgary Co-op Board because I care deeply about this community and the role Co-op plays in supporting local families and businesses. With my background in supply chain, ESG, and real estate, I hope to contribute practical experience and thoughtful leadership to ensure Co-op continues to thrive, grow sustainably, and stay true to its community-focused values.
