Board of Directors

Member-Elected and Community-Driven

Yellowhead Gas Co-op is governed by a volunteer board of directors, each of whom is elected by our membership. These individuals live in the communities we serve and understand the values, needs, and priorities of rural Alberta.

Our directors are responsible for helping guide the long-term vision of the co-op, reviewing financial decisions, and ensuring our operations continue to reflect the cooperative principles we were founded on.

This model ensures accountability, transparency, and a deep connection between Yellowhead’s leadership and the members we serve.

At Yellowhead Gas Co-op, leadership isn’t about profits: it’s about people.
