Board members are elected each November at our AGM.
Board of Director Roles
Community Association President: Leading the Way
As President, you’ll lead community development, oversee board activities, guide decision-making, and represent Ranchlands with government and city departments. This role requires strong leadership and communication skills. While time-intensive, the satisfaction of creating positive change is immeasurable, with an expected monthly commitment of 10–15 hours.
Vice President: Supporting the President
The Vice President backs up the President and chairs meetings in their absence. This role requires collaboration, a strong understanding of community needs, and the ability to support the board in leadership. Expected monthly commitment: 8–12 hours.
Secretary: Keeping Things Organized
The Secretary manages communications, takes meeting minutes, and ensures smooth information flow within the board and community. This role requires excellent organizational skills and attention to detail. Expected monthly commitment: 6–10 hours.
Treasurer: Balancing the Books

If you enjoy numbers and financial management, this role allows you to make crucial decisions and maintain the financial health of community projects. You will work closely with our bookkeeper.

Directors at Large: Your Creative Input Counts
Directors at large bring unique perspectives and skills to the board. You’ll assist with event planning and coordination, contribute to grant applications, and be directly involved in community engagement. Expected monthly commitment: 5–10 hours.
Commitment and Expectations
