Regulatory Committees, Public Representative

Apply to a regulatory committee and make a difference by contributing to the process that protects patients.

Who Can Apply?

All applicants must satisfy the following:

  • Be a resident of Alberta
  • Be at least 18 years old
  • Cannot be a spouse, partner, child, or parent of a Council member
  • Cannot be a current or former the CRNA employee
  • Must be comfortable using the required computer and internet connection requirements
  • Meet the Regulatory Committees Competencies & Attributes Profile

Conflicts of Interest

Individuals appointed must ensure their personal interests do not interfere with their public duties as a committee member. An applicant can still be in consideration for appointment after a disclosure. The Conflict of Interest Protocol outlines the CRNA's requirements and disclosure process. 

Reflecting the Diversity of Alberta

When committees reflect a community's diversity, we serve the public properly. The application contains an optional diversity section to achieve access, equity and reconciliation on committees. Identities will be confidential to the nominating committee, and they only report the responses in summary.

Apply

Two committees have public representative seats open: competence and registration review. Applicants are to provide a resume, short biography and three references during the application.

Applicants will be contacted by Governance Solutions in their support of the recruitment process. The nominating committee will review the applications and balance the selection using the Regulatory Committee Selection Policy.  After interviews and reference checks, successful applicants will receive notification after Council's decision in late September.
