Who is doing the work of ACTA?

Board of Directors

ACTA has a volunteer Board of Directors composed of individuals working in all the professions ensuring diverse professional focuses are included in regulatory decisions for the professions.

All of these members volunteer countless hours to ensure regulatory decisions of the professions represent the collective voice of the profession in the public interest. 

Staff

The work of the ACTA Board is guided by the leadership of a CEO/Registrar, and our Registration Manager. 

The Registrar & Chief Executive Officer reports to the Board and provides leadership and direction to the Association to fulfill its mandate. The Registrar/CEO ensures proper support to the functions, processes and operations of the Association, the Board and its committees, Board initiatives, its Bylaws, and its obligations under the Societies Act and other relevant legislation.
