Leadership Development Committee
We’re looking to add 1-2 volunteer members to the ACC’s Leadership Development Committee (LDC) to diversify the committee and better reflect the broader ACC membership. The LDC promotes and facilitates the delivery of leadership training and materials and works on a number of related projects.
ACC members from diverse backgrounds, perspectives, abilities and experiences, with a strong interest in leadership development and the future of the ACC, are encouraged to contact the ACC’s VP activities for more information.

Offered in the mountains, these courses enhance leadership and decision making skills that are applicable to ACC activities across Canada.
