The Minister of Agriculture & Irrigation is looking to fill up to two positions on AFSC’s Board of Directors. Applicants may also be considered for future vacancies.
Agriculture Financial Services Corporation (AFSC) provides leading, innovative, client-focused financial and risk-management solutions to grow agriculture in Alberta. AFSC is a provincial Crown corporation that began by providing hail insurance to Alberta farmers more than 80 years ago, and it has grown into a diverse corporation dedicated to building relationships with its clients to help manage their risks within the agriculture industry. It now supports Alberta’s farmers with crop and livestock price insurance, farm loans, commercial loans and farm income disaster assistance.
AFSC’s products and services address gaps in the marketplace where similar products are not consistently and reliably available from other sources. AFSC works with agricultural producers, agribusinesses, and rural businesses to support and advance agricultural development, creating new opportunities for businesses and improving the quality of life for rural Albertans.
The board of directors plays an important role in ensuring AFSC’s accountability to the Minister of Agriculture & Irrigation. In their governance role, board members regularly review the strategic direction for the organization and ensure management is accountable for completing agreed upon strategic initiatives.
Using their diverse areas of expertise, the board of directors ensures that AFSC remains true to its mandate, and that the Alberta agricultural industry is well supported by the services delivered by AFSC.
Board members serve three-year terms and are eligible for reappointment.
