  • Moral courage
  • The willingness to contribute to a disciplined, high-performance, trustworthy and ethical team

The successful candidates can be elected for a maximum of two consecutive three-year terms. Our Chief Executive Officer manages a professional team with an annual operating budget of approximately $3 million and a client base of 6000.

We meet as a Board six times per year. Our compensation is the satisfaction that is derived from making a positive difference in the lives of people affected by dementia and those who care for them.

Founded thirty-nine years ago, the Alzheimer Society of Manitoba exists so that all Manitobans affected by dementia receive the help they need today and have hope for the future. As a province-wide organization, the Society seeks to achieve its mission through supporting individuals and families with First Link® education and support programs, building dementia-friendly communities and funding research.
