“There is a fantastic training component to Merit.”

as a united national voice for the eight
Provincial Merit Associations repre-

“Fairness and transparency are our
two main pillars,” says Malcom D. Kirk-
land. Kirkland is in his fourth year as
President of Merit Alberta, and is pas-

maximum annual fee of $750 or less,
is incredible value) and the ability to
support its members to be at the fore-
front of the industry.
“Our approach to services for our
members is to ensure that they are
progressive and competitive,” says
