Statement of intent

I am a senior executive with significant experience in management and business strategy, in addition to the private practice of law in civil litigation, commercial and agricultural real estate, and business/corporate law.

I have significant board governance experience, including through my current founding roles as a member of the partnership board of Stringam Law and as a corporate director and board chair of the newly formed University of Lethbridge Business Corporation, as well as through my previous roles as President and Board Chair of Economic Development Lethbridge, and as Chair of the Board of Governors of the University of Lethbridge. These multi-faceted roles have each involved extensive work in multilevel stakeholder engagement and government relations, succession planning, executive review and compensation negotiations, labour relations, budget oversight, navigating complex audit and enterprise risk management issues, fiduciary oversight of major construction projects, mergers and acquisitions, and numerous other strategic initiatives.

I am also a fourth generation Albertan who understands the diverse communities that make up this province, being both a community minded philanthropist and the owner of multiple businesses that operate in several of them and very deliberately contribute to their fabric.
