The Wild Rose Chapter wouldn't exist without volunteers to plan events, update our website, run webinars, write our newsletter, and serve on the board and/or committees.

Why volunteer?

• Professional Networking: Connect with peers in the field.
• Skill Development: Learn and share new skills.
• Personal Growth: Boost self-esteem and well-being.
• Help advance P2 practice in Alberta.

 "Volunteering with the Wild Rose Chapter isn't just about giving back; it's about growing personally and professionally.” says IAP2 Wild Rose member Candace Denison.  

Send us an email at info@iap2wildrose.ca with the subject line "Volunteer" if you're interested in any of the 2026 opportunities listed below. Let us know:

• Which committee or subcommittee interests you
• Your skills or areas of interest
• How you’d like to contribute

We’ll connect you with the appropriate lead and share next steps. Here’s to navigating new landscapes together in 2026 — and building a stronger Wild Rose Chapter with your support!

As we prepare for P2 Palooza 2026, happening May 21-22, 2026, we are excited to bring this year’s theme—“Navigating New Landscapes”—to life. This theme reflects the evolving realities of public participation: shifting expectations, emerging technologies, and new engagement challenges. To create a meaningful, energizing experience for our community, we’re looking for passionate volunteers to join our planning team.

• Social & Networking
• Sponsorship & Partnerships
• Registration & Finance

• Logistics & Venue
• Marketing & Communications

We meet roughly once a month, and we understand that volunteers may not be able to attend every meeting. Your enthusiasm and willingness to contribute—even in small ways—are what make this event successful.
