Meet Our Board Of Directors

The Community Futures Grande Prairie & Region team is powered by its Board of Directors. Our board members really care about the community and understand the challenges of owning a business. 

As a grassroots organization, Community Futures Grande Prairie & Region has a strong, community-based, passionate Board of Directors that allows us to make decisions most in line with the needs of our local community. In essence, we meet the community where it is and work with stakeholders, entrepreneurs, and organizations to make this region the best place to live, work, play and of course, do business. The Board of Directors is made up of 6 municipal appointed representatives and 6 Community Members at Large. To read more about the Terms of Reference for our Board click here.
