Brian Olson has been involved with LivingWorks as the Board Chair for seven years. He also holds board and directorship positions with a number of other private companies and charities in the Calgary and Okotoks areas.

Prior to his involvement in board stewardship, he spent two decades as a senior executive in the energy and manufacturing sector. He has always had a passion for public service, consulting, and corporate responsibility, and feels a strong affinity for the mission of suicide prevention.

He became involved with charitable activities in 1984, and has managed at least two active fundraising campaigns ever since. He counts horses among his greatest passions, and devotes as much of his free time as he can to training and riding.
