Since its inception in 1982, the Alzheimer Society of Saskatchewan has been a volunteer-led organization. Although we continue to grow, volunteerism is still an essential key to our success.

We are currently accepting applications for our 2015-2016 Board of Directors. We are seeking two (2) candidates to serve a two-year term beginning in June, 2015.

As a Board Member, you will help lead our organization's strategic priorities, ensuring we are providing the right services to people with dementia, at the right time. 

You will also join current Board members like Fiona Adams, a Human Resource Professional whose personal experience with the disease brought her to our organization. Her inspiration is her mother and her motivation is her children.

Fiona and the rest of our board encourage interested individuals to submit a cover letter and resume by Wednesday, April 15, 2015.
