Alberta public sector bodies are required to post online the names and compensation paid to:
- all board members
- employees who earn over $150,219
As an agency of the Government of Alberta, the AFA complies with this legislation by providing information about compensation provided to members of its Board of Directors.
Please note:
As stipulated in Section 8 of the Alberta Foundation for the Arts Act and in the Mandate and Roles Document, the Board is compensated for time spent on AFA business.
Members of the AFA Board do not sign a contract with the Foundation or the Government of Alberta, but are appointed via Order in Council. There is no severance agreement, nor is severance compensation provided at the end of their terms or if a term is ended prematurely.
The AFA does not have any employees. Administrative, consultative and technical support is provided by the Government of Alberta.
