Board Of Directors

Our Current Board Membership

Mark Oliver

Board President

Mark has been volunteering with the Club since 2016. He was looking for a great way to become more involved with the Leduc community, and being part of the BGC Leduc team has proven to be a very rewarding experience. He moved to Leduc with his family in 2013, having previously lived in Peterborough, ON, Las Vegas, NV, and Halifax, NS (where he is originally from). The family has found Leduc to be an excellent place to raise a family and live. Mark has often had the opportunity to witness what a great community Leduc is, and nowhere is that more apparent than when viewed through the lens of BGC Leduc.
As a member of the Club’s Board of Directors, Mark and his colleagues provide governance and support to the Club’s staff leadership, particularly the Executive Director (ED). The ED manages the Club and runs daily operations.
Professionally, Mark worked for over 20 years in consulting engineering and utilities. He holds a license to practice engineering through ASET, along with a bachelor’s degree and an MBA. One of his areas of expertise is project management. While his career has largely focused on engineering design and community development, he has recently launched a real estate business.

Trish Campbell

Vice President

Trish is a passionate and motivated professional with over 20 years of experience in community and Indigenous engagement across Alberta, British Columbia, Nunavut, and the Northwest Territories. You’ll catch her with a strong coffee in the morning (maybe even two) as she supports her daughter’s 4:15 am competitive swim practices. This commitment and daily motivation extend into her professional life, where she places immense value on the enduring relationships she has cultivated over the years.
Trish takes pride in working alongside remarkable individuals, collectively growing as human beings along this shared and transformative journey. As Indigenous Relations Manager, she leads Clark Builders efforts to strengthen existing relationships and develop new and authentic partnerships, agreements, and engagement with Indigenous communities. Her professional role aligns perfectly with her passion for advocating children and women’s rights, as seen through her dedicated role as Vice President of the Leduc Boys and Girls Club, along with her unwavering commitment to other charitable organizations.

Allan was born in a small town in central Newfoundland called Lewisporte.  After high school he moved to St. John’s where he graduated from Memorial University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Engineering Degree and started his career with the Provincial Government as a Civil Engineer with the Department of Transportation.  After being issued a stop work order on one of his projects, he started learning about safety and became passionate about keeping people safe.  This led to accepting a position with the Department of Labour as a Occupational Health and Safety Engineer.  In 2006 he achieved his CRSP designation and over the years has held various leadership positions in several large EPC companies. Allan has also served on numerous boards as well as CSA committees.  His experience spans oil and gas, potash, manufacturing, commercial, and hydroelectric in both Canada and the US. Since moving from Newfoundland in 2008, Allan and his wife Trina currently live in Leduc where they have raised their two sons.  In his spare time, you’ll find Allan volunteering in his community and spending time with his family, friends and their two golden doodles walking, camping, and boating.

Shantel Bauer

Shantel works at a school in Leduc and is a proud BGC parent with two kids involved in the Club. Life is full and busy — with hockey, dance, baseball, and Embers — but she wouldn’t have it any other way.

She loves cheering on her kids in their activities, catching Oilers games, and spending time crafting handmade cards. Recently, she’s gotten into reading as a way to slow down and recharge. In the summer, you’ll find her on the ball diamond playing slow pitch, and in the winter, she’s on the curling rink — two things she genuinely enjoys. She’s excited to join the Board and looks forward to helping shape the future of BGC for all the kids and families who call it home.

Our Board Purpose

The purpose of the Board of Directors is to represent the membership and to direct the Club to meet the mission and mandate for the members and community within the available resources. The Board of Directors is the legal entity and authority for the Club. The Board provides oversight, leadership, direction and sets policy to ensure that the Club can fulfill the mission, mandate and strategic plan.

Our Principles Of Governance

The role of the Board is to articulate and communicate the mission and values. The Board defines the parameters within which the Club operates.

The Board is a corporate body – individual members (including the chair) and committees do not have the authority to direct the activities of the staff.

The Board speaks with one voice, reflecting directions and decisions made at board meetings.

The Board speaks through motion.

The Board speaks by approving policy and monitoring the impact of policy.

The Board has only one employee (Executive Director) and leaves the management of the organization to this employee.

Our Board Of Directors’ Meetings

The Board of Directors meets monthly. Unless otherwise determined, Board Meetings are held on the third Wednesday of each month, at 7:30 pm BGC Leduc.

Any community member interested in attending a meeting of the Board (as a guest) or wishing to have an idea or issue discussed at a Board Meeting, is encouraged to contact the Board President a minimum of one week prior to the meeting, in order to have their information added to the Board Agenda.

Contacting The Board Of Directors
