Honouring AMBA’s Volunteers: A Special Luncheon Celebration

On May 8, AMBA welcomed its dedicated volunteers to a special Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon at the Courtyard Calgary Airport Hotel. The event served as both a heartfelt thank-you and a celebration of the incredible contributions made by our Board, Committee, and Task Force members over the past year.

Set against the backdrop of AMBA’s 50th anniversary, the luncheon was a moment to reflect on the legacy of leadership that continues to shape Alberta’s mortgage industry. Volunteers were treated to a three-course plated meal, thoughtful gifts, and warm recognition from AMBA’s leadership.

The program began with a welcome and land acknowledgement from AMBA CEO Emily St. Pierre, followed by lunch and a series of acknowledgments highlighting the incredible work of each committee:
​

• Board of Directors – for their leadership in shaping AMBA’s vision and strategy
• Governance Committee – for strengthening policy and transparency
• Audit, Finance & Risk Committee – for ensuring AMBA’s financial health and sustainability
• Professional Standards Committee – for reinforcing professionalism across the industry
• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Advisory Committee – for helping AMBA build a more inclusive community
• Women of AMBA (WAMBA) – for supporting women in the industry through mentorship and networking
• Education & Professional Development Committee – for advancing learning and growth
• 50th Anniversary Advisory Committee – for helping us celebrate this milestone year

The afternoon concluded with closing remarks and a group photo, capturing the spirit of collaboration and gratitude that defines the AMBA community.

To all our volunteers: thank you. Your time, insight, and passion are the foundation of our progress—and we look forward to continuing this journey together.
