Leadership Update at the Alberta Real Estate Foundation
We’re pleased to welcome Melanie Hulsker as the new Chair of our Board of Governors. Now entering her second term on the Board, Melanie brings deep expertise in community development and systems-level thinking from her work at the University of Calgary and the City of Calgary. Known for her collaborative approach and systems thinking, Melanie has already been a driving force in shaping the Foundation’s strategy and impact.
We’d also like to express our sincere thanks to Penny Omell, who served as Chair from 2023–2025 and now steps into the Past Chair role. Penny’s thoughtful stewardship helped guide the Foundation through important shifts in grantmaking and impact investment, ensuring our work remains grounded, forward-looking, and financially sound.
