About
AEC
The Alberta Elk Commission (AEC) is an association of individuals,
farms and corporations actively supporting and developing the elk
farming industry in Alberta. The AEC was founded in September of 1988
as the Alberta Game Growers Association. In 1993, it changed its name
to the Alberta Venison Council (AVC). At the end of 1994, the Alberta
Venison Council had 123 members in its Association. In November 2002,
the Association became The Alberta Elk Commission. From its humble
beginnings the AEC has grown to include over 450 members farming over
45,000 elk in Alberta.
The AEC is governed by a Board of Directors that is made up of
representatives elected from each Chapter (seven in total) plus
three elected from the floor of the Annual General Meeting. The
Executive Committee of the Board consists of the Chairman, Vice
Chairman and Financial Chairman. An Executive Marketing Director
and an Office Manager look after day-to-day operations of the Commission.
