About Staff and Board Member Positions

The Museum Curator is the only full-time paid staff position at Pioneer Acres. We also hire temporary staff for the summer months. All other positions are unpaid - volunteer.

The Executive of the Board consists of the President, 1st and 2nd Vice Presidents, Secretary, Treasurer, and Past President. These are all one year positions except for the Past President, who remains in that position until the current president is not re-elected. The Rocky View County Representative is appointed by the County.

There are nine Director positions and all are three-year terms. Each year, three of the nine director positions come up for re-election, thus providing new directors every year while maintaining continuity from year to year.

Elections are held at the Annual General Meeting in February. The Executive positions have prerequisites that must be met before a person can be nominated for or elected to the position. The Directors are nominated and elected from the general membership. Board meetings are held once per month, typically on the second Saturday.
