Heavenly
Father, today, we pause to think about the MLA for Calgary – Fish Creek, Mr.
Richard Gotfried. We pray for him asking that you would continue to lead and
guide him in the right path. We ask you to enable him with wisdom and
understanding and all that is needed to serve in his position well. Surround
him as well with those who can provide wise council. Be with him in all his
coming and going during this summer. Amen
Richard Gotfried is proud to have been born and raised in
Alberta. He was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Alberta, representing
the constituency of Calgary-Fish Creek, on May 5, 2015.
Mr. Gotfried is a member of the standing committees on Public
Accounts and Alberta's Economic Future.
Prior to serving with the Legislative Assembly, he spent over a
decade working as a senior executive for a Calgary-based home builder. Earlier,
he worked for over 15 years as a district sales manager for an international
airline. In addition, he was vice-president of corporate and community
engagement with Calgary Economic Development between 2011 and 2013.
As a strong supporter of community engagement he has volunteered
with several community associations, including the Calgary Home Builders
Foundation; the Hong Kong-Canada Business Association; Skål International,
Calgary (the International Association of Travel and Tourism Professionals);
Scouts Canada and GlobalFest. In addition, he is the founder of the public,
essential and key employees (PEAK) home ownership program.
