President  

Carleen is a born and raised Calgarian. She attended the University of Lethbridge where she achieved her Bachelor of Fine Arts in New Media and is now a graphic designer for a Real Estate brokerage. 

Carleen has been singing her entire life and finds sharing her voice, both solo or with a choir, extremely exhilarating and something she can never stop doing. Her favourite things about ARC: the people and the amazing productions that consistently get better every year! Carleen's favourite song is: "Dog Days Are Over" by Florence and the Machine

Patrick has lived his entire life in Calgary, save for a short stint in Edmonton, where he attended the University of Alberta. With a business education in hand, Patrick has worked for both RBC and ATB since graduation, the latter he continues to work for today. Patrick has continued his financial education having completed the Canadian Securities Course and the Wealth Management Essentials course. 

Drawn to ARC by his partner's participation, Patrick has come to appreciate the atmosphere ARC has created and the strong sense of community it has been able to foster. Patrick's favourite song is "Governess Shadow" by July Talk.

Coming Soon...

Robyn brings to ARC over 25 years of experience in the charitable sector in event and project management, fund development, and leadership roles. She has enjoyed serving a variety of causes, including arts and festivals, animal welfare, women and children's services, professional associations, and disability supports.  She even spent 2013-2018 as ARC’s Executive Director!

 

There is music in the genes on both sides of her family and she remembers singing into the mirror as a kid, wholeheartedly believing she could be the next Olivia Newton-John. Her 2 years spent with Up With People primed her to be a member of ARC - though “Uppies” don’t call it choreo, they call it vamping! Robyn has no favourite songs but can never pass up a good show tune or a harmony with The Indigo Girls.
