The URISA Alberta Chapter has been a vital partner
in the support of Municipal and Urban Systems development for a number
of years. Every year there are opportunities for collaboration and
knowledge exchange with companies and other groups across Alberta and
around Western Canada.
Each Year, URISA Alberta asks for volunteers to
fill the positions on the Executive that will be vacant at the end of
the fiscal year. Early in 2004, the Nomination Committee will forward
nomination information and papers to all URISA Alberta members. But we
would like all members to think about contributing time to the
organization. The positions that need to be filled for the term July 1,
2004 - June 30, 2005, include:
* Vice President North and Vice
