ADRIA again held its Annual AGM in a hybrid fashion on June 16th, with reception gatherings in Edmonton & Calgary, and online opportunities to participate for members elsewhere in the province. The evening featured a keynote presentation from Queens Bench Justice Anna Loparco, who outlined important Court Initiatives regarding Restorative Justice.

Central to the AGM proceeding were the election and appointment of Board Directors and Officers. Their bios are detailed on our Board webpage. Two new Board members were added, and ADRIA members will be well represented for the 2022/23 year as follows:
President
Barbara McNeil, C.Med, Q.Arb
Treasurer
Samuel H. Sele, Q.Med
Secretary
Cindy Imppola, Q.Med
ADRIC Representative

The position of Vice President is to be determined.
Three Board members left the Board in June, having completed their terms or relocated out of province: Barrie Marshall, Kevin Kelly and Ali Ansell. Each had contributed significantly to the success of ADRIA over many years, and each will be missed as the Board convenes for 2022/23. We owe them a great deal of thanks.
