Meet Your Board
Local people, giving their time to a place they love.
Because we all need a little shout-out sometimes, allow us to introduce our Board of Directors. If you see us around town, say hello!
If you see us around town, make sure you say hello or even strike up a conversation.
William McCallum
Chair
Born and raised in Montreal, William holds a Master of Education from Queen's University and spent 30 years working in Ontario's education system. He and his wife Susan have owned and operated Falcon Ridge Inn B&B in Alma since 2017. Outside the board, William enjoys travel, hiking, cross-country skiing, and digging into family history.
Joanne Butland
V.Chair
Born and raised in Albert County, Joanne is a retired local business owner who has always loved the freedom and beauty of this laid-back region. She's passionate about staying active in the community, whether that's biking, kayaking, or spending time with family. Most of all, she loves hanging out with her grandkids.
Kathy Weir
Treasurer
Kathy is a retired paramedic who came back to work because she loves the job and the community it connects her to. Her steady, detail-oriented approach carries over into her role managing CCRC's finances. In her downtime, she unwinds with puzzles.
Derek Lackey
Secretary
Derek and his wife Adrienne moved to Alma in 2021, drawn by the promise of real community involvement. A seasoned marketer and privacy professional, he's built and sold several ad agencies and currently chairs the Response Marketing Association while sitting on ISO governance committees for privacy standards. His family is spread wide — a daughter and five grandchildren in Orange County, California, and a son in Montreal.
Beverly Lockhart
Board Member
Beverly has lived and worked in Albert County her whole life, raising three children with her husband, two of whom still call the area home. She and her husband ran a snowmobile business here for 26 years, so she's especially excited about the new Lumsden bridge. Beverly joined CCRC because she believed in the work being done, and now leads the Welcome Committee, greeting newcomers to the area.
Charlie Anderson
Board Member
Charlie started school at Alma Consolidated, graduated from McNaughton, and went on to complete an electronic engineering technology program at NBCC in Moncton before working in Toronto and later for Coca-Cola in Ontario. After 30 years away, he and his wife of 27 years moved home in 2020 — and were fortunate enough to have both their children follow. Charlie enjoys reconnecting with old friends, making new ones, and rediscovering all the corners of Albert County he missed growing up.
Sean Blewett
Board Member
Sean moved to Riverside-Albert from Sussex, NB three years ago and joined CCRC to help make the area even better. He was drawn in by what the committee was accomplishing and the community spirit it brings out in people. Sean is looking forward to getting involved in projects and getting to know the people who make up this community.
Sue Pitman
Board Member
I moved to Riverside-Albert from Sussex NB 3 years ago. I joined the CCRC to do what I can to assist in making the area better. I liked what I saw the CCRC accomplishing and the community spirit it enhances. I am looking forward to working on projects and getting to know the people who make up this wonderful community!
