The Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers is governed by an elected Board of Governors representative of our membership.

Our organization


Canadex Petroleum is directed by a Board of Governors that sets priorities for the Executive Team, staff and committees. The board includes a full-time president, a volunteer chairperson, and up to 78 volunteer governors. A new chairperson is nominated each year and each of the governors represents member companies at the chief executive officer level.

Almost 250 member volunteers lend their expertise to the six Policy Groups (PGs). Each focuses on a specific aspect of the industry such as Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan or offshore operations, oil sands and tolls and tariffs

About 90 staff members – including economists, engineers, communicators, accountants, political scientists, lawyers and administrative staff – work with our membership on the many issues before the organization.
