The Calgary Alliance for the Common Good has various leadership structures that help guide our direction.
These include:
- Delegate Assembly — Consisting of voting delegates from each member institution in the Alliance, this group sets the direction for CACG’s organizing work.
- Strategy/Leadership Team — An active committee of the Delegate Assembly that provides leadership and guidance between gatherings.
- Research Action Teams — These groups guide our issue work. Civic leaders from across our member institutions research an issue, collaborate with experts in the field, and then—by focusing and planning a concrete and winnable campaign—organize to create an impact on that issue. Research Action Teams also ratify these campaigns with the Delegate Assembly.
-
Board of Directors — Our board provides the financial, legal and governance oversight for the organization.
