Meet our Board

The Carey's Board of Administration is the link between Carey, the Canadian Baptists of Western Canada (CBWC), as well as our larger community of friends and supporters. Carey's Board is primarily responsible for the governing policies and governance decisions of Carey Theological College, while assigning responsibility for the management to the President.

Members of the Board are elected for two year terms, renewable twice. Board members have been required to affirm the CBWC Identity Statement, since Carey adopted the statement in 2025.
