President Pat Gillespie Retires

Patrick Gillespie has announced his retirement after nearly five years of dedicated service with AASA. We are grateful for Pat’s leadership and many contributions during his tenure, and we wish him the very best in his retirement.

Greg Sylvestre will be stepping in as part-time Interim Director, Partnerships & Stakeholder Relations. In this role, he will focus on strengthening our relationships with sponsors and stakeholders, supporting fundraising initiatives, and exploring new opportunities for revenue growth.

Greg is a CPA and previously served as a partner at Baker Tilly RSG in Cold Lake. He also brings a deep understanding of our organization, having served on our Board from 2016 to 2022, including as Chair in 2020–2021. Greg and his family have been deeply connected to our community; his son Nathan was a member of our provincial ski team. Greg’s combination of professional expertise and firsthand knowledge of our work makes him a strong fit for this interim role.

Please join us in welcoming Greg to the team.
