The Board of Directors of the Association of School Business Officials of Alberta invites applications from suitably qualified candidates for the position of Chief Executive Officer.

ABOUT ASBOA

The Association of School Business Officials of Alberta (ASBOA) is located in the City of Edmonton, Alberta. Founded in 1939, the Association of School Business Officials of Alberta is a self-regulating professional association that supports more than 180 members from across Alberta and the Northwest Territories to achieve excellence in school business management. At ASBOA, we support our members in becoming leaders in school business management by connecting them to the tools, knowledge and professional expertise and guidance needed to succeed.
ASBOA, currently under the Professional and Occupational Associations Registration Act (POARA), will transition to the Alberta Societies Act and is seeking a leader to execute all aspects of this transition.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ASBOA is a key leadership position responsible for the effective regulation, governance, and operation of the organization, ensuring its continued relevance and success in a dynamic environment.
Under the direction of the Board of Directors, the CEO plays an integral role in advancing ASBOA’s vision, mission, and strategic priorities. This includes maintaining, fostering, and developing a professional association that supports individuals working in corporate service roles across Alberta’s K–12 education sector. The role demands measurable business results, relationship-focused leadership, and a high level of professionalism. These results may include, but are not limited to, member satisfaction, financial performance, program delivery outcomes, and progress toward strategic plan goals.
Working in a model similar to a not-for-profit, a key component of the role is managing limited financial resources while delivering on ASBOA’s strategic objectives. The CEO must demonstrate strong fiscal stewardship and ensure all financial responsibilities are met, balancing vision with viability while growing the organization’s capacity to meet evolving member and sector needs.
As a dynamic and visionary leader and the Chief Executive Officer of ASBOA, you will possess the following.

• A university degree in Business Administration, Public Administration, or a related field. A relevant professional designation (e.g., CAE, CPHR, MBA, or equivalent) is considered a strong asset.

• Strong understanding and experience in new service development and professional development programming.
