Members have a fiduciary responsibility to represent the objects of the Institute as a not-for-profit incorporated entity. The Board has at least seven and as many as fourteen directors who represent the Government of Alberta, environmental non-governmental organizations, the forest, energy and agriculture sectors, and the research community. Board members serve staggered three-year terms with the possibility of renewal.
