Governance
Join the REAL Board of Directors.
The Regina Exhibition Association Limited (REAL) has an exciting opportunity for individuals who are passionate about Regina, events, sports, and agriculture to apply to become board members.
REAL is currently recruiting a new Board of Directors to be appointed by City Council. Board members hold significant responsibility and will be involved in critical decisions to move the organization forward. These individuals will have the skills, knowledge, and experience to set the strategic direction to help the organization achieve its mandate. In addition, the Board will oversee the financial performance, hire a permanent CEO, work alongside stakeholders, and protect the interests of its sole shareholder, the City of Regina. We are specifically looking for passionate, dedicated, and innovative community leaders who would be committed to the organization’s sustainability, growth, development, and diversity and who can bring fresh, forward-thinking ideas to the table.
REAL is a not-for-profit, municipal arms-length organization operating a 100-acre district in Regina with over 2 million square feet of civic assets. Owned solely by the City of Regina, the land and facilities are managed independently by REAL under the governance of a Board of Directors.
For 140 years, REAL has been a community leader dedicated to bringing the community together to benefit the city and the entire province. The REAL District is a hub for tradeshows, conferences, sports and recreation, family events, and signature events, generating an estimated economic impact on our city of $54M in 2023.
The REAL mandate is to deliver consistent and reliable experiences anchored by partnerships and to maximize the utilization of its facilities for the benefit of the community in a commercially viable model that is self-sustaining in operations.
Join the team committed to building a strategic vision and creating a place where memories last a lifetime.
