Craig Stahlke and family are long term Charleswood residents. Craig is Pembina Trails School Trustee representing Ward 1 since 2022 and is a Chartered Professional Accountant who has dedicated his entire career to working as Secretary-Treasurer for Pembina Trails School Division.
Craig believes that a high quality and effective education of the students in this, and all school divisions, is essential to the future of our society. All of our students should be provided with the educational programming, services and opportunities which will allow them to flourish and realize their own individual potential. This goal should be the primary focus of the Board of Trustees. This success is achieved through the most appropriate use of the resources available, exercising prudent stewardship of the financial resources of the Division, ensuring a safe, caring, inclusive and welcoming school environment, supporting the work of all of the Division’s staff and fostering a creative vision for the future.
An effective Board brings added value to the work of the Division when it reflects Trustees who bring a diversity of skills, experiences and perspectives. The Board of Trustees has similar responsibilities to those of the Board of any large and complex organization. The Board is not only responsible for the core function of the education of students but all of the support activities of business, financial, legal, human resources, information technology, communication, advocacy and legislative mandates.
Craig knows that his own skills and lengthy experience in the Pembina Trails School Division both as Secretary-Treasurer and School Trustee allow him to bring a positive, effective contribution to the work of the Board and help to achieve the success for our students and meet our comprehensive corporate responsibilities.
