Board Director, Alberta Lawyers Indemnity

3 months ago

Calgary, Canada Alia Board Full time

**Overview**:
ALIA is the member-funded, non-profit corporation that manages Alberta’s mandatory indemnity program for lawyers in private practice (“**Subscribers**”), providing economic and reputational protection to them and compensation to members of the public who have suffered certain financial losses due to the actions of Subscribers. ALIA operates as a separate financial entity from the Law Society of Alberta (“**Law Society**”), ALIA’s shareholder.

Time commitment varies with committee involvement, with five scheduled Board meetings and four or five scheduled committee meetings per year, depending on the committee. Extra meetings may be scheduled, and time is required to prepare for meetings.

Independent Directors - those Directors who are not members of the Law Society or employees of the Law Society or ALIA - receive an annual honorarium plus meeting fees. Directors will be appointed for a term of up to three years (renewable), commencing in June 2024.

**Background of ALIA**:
The Law Society, created pursuant to Alberta’s _Legal Profession Act_ (the “**Act**”), regulates the legal profession and the approximately 11,450 lawyers who practice law in the province, promoting a high standard of legal services and professional conduct. The Act also requires the Law Society to establish and maintain an indemnity program for lawyers.

In 1988, the Law Society incorporated a subsidiary corporation, now ALIA, to manage the professional liability indemnity program for Alberta lawyers. Every Subscriber - currently approximately 7,650 - must purchase a base level of professional liability coverage, misappropriation coverage, and cyber coverage through ALIA. ALIA handles all claims against Subscribers.

ALIA is committed to creating a diverse environment and fostering an inclusive Board and workplace in which individual differences are recognized, appreciated, respected, and responded to in ways that fully develop and utilize each person’s talents and strengths.

**Role of Directors and Board**:
All Directors are appointed by the Benchers, the Law Society’s governance board (“Benchers”), and the Board reports to the Benchers through the Board Chair.

The Board is responsible for supervising the indemnity program and providing financial oversight for ALIA, including approving ALIA’s budget and financial statements and supervising the management, administration, and investments of the indemnity program fund.

In managing ALIA’s business and affairs, the Board is responsible for ensuring that ALIA operates in accordance with the Rules of the Law Society of Alberta, all applicable legislation including the Act, and all other relevant governing documents and policies. Acting as a Board, Directors are responsible for monitoring all significant aspects of the indemnity program to achieve its core purpose: to provide protection to Subscribers and compensation to members of the public who have suffered certain financial losses due to the actions of Subscribers.

**Skills and Attributes Required**:
ALIA seeks the skills and attributes required to discharge the Board Director role, including experience and knowledge in some or all of the areas set out below.

All Directors are expected to have the following attributes and competencies: informed judgment, integrity, personal accountability, strategic thinking, initiative, good communication skills, sufficient time available for duties, interest in the indemnity program, and a commitment to ALIA’s mission, core values, and goals.
