The Alberta apprenticeship and industry training board is appointed by the lieutenant governor and consists of how many members?

• A. A chair and 12 members
• B. A chair and 10 members
• C. A chair and 14 members
• D. A chair and 11 members

Answer: (A)

Governing boards for apprenticeship and industry training are designed to have a single leader and a defined number of other members to ensure solid oversight and diverse input. In this Alberta board, the leadership comes from one chair, and there are twelve additional members appointed by the lieutenant governor in council. That means thirteen people sit on the board in total. The chair guides meetings and decision-making, while the twelve other members bring different perspectives from employers, employees, and the public to shape policy and programs. Other total counts would not match the statutory structure that defines this board.
