I wish to announce to all of you my decision to resign from my role as Executive Director of the Alberta College of Family Physicians (ACFP) as of May 30th, 2025.
I have had such an amazing experience with this organization and feel that I have been able to add value and contribute to the growth and reputation of the ACFP. I have had the opportunity to work with brilliant Board members and staff over the course of the 14 years in this position. Every day has been engaging and challenging. I have truly enjoyed and grown personally and professionally during my time here!
With the time I have left in this position, I remain committed to ensuring we stay focused on our government relations priorities, supporting the Board and staff through this transition, strengthening our existing partnerships, and finding and onboarding a new Executive Director.
Thank you so much for entrusting me with the leadership of the ACFP over these years.
Sincerely,
Terri Potter

Hello Jean,
Thank you for your kindness. It was fun working with you on improving seniors care with the Alberta Seniors Care Coalition. I will miss all of you!
Thank you for your leadership, hard work, and stability over a particularly challenging time for the college and healthcare system. Good luck with your future endeavours!
Thank you, Dr. Patel! It has been a wild ride at times. I am hopeful that things will improve over time and with sustained commitment by government. I really have enjoyed my time with the ACFP. Family physicians are the best!
Well done Terri. You have taken our organization to ‘next level’! FP’s and patients have benefited from your leadership.
Thank you, Rick! It’s been great to work with you and I absolutely respect your system level leadership efforts. It takes a community of dedicated people to really make significant and positive things happen.
Thank you Terri for your support and service to the ACFP and family docs of Alberta for these many years. Your calming presence was so important for us throughout the roller coaster ride of our health care system changes. All the best for your next adventures to come!
Thank you, Dr. Chan. It has been a pleasure and a wonderful journey with you all!

Congratulations on starting a next adventure whatever it may be.
Your calm steadying presence and positive attitude along with a smile will be missed.
How you managed to keep it together during the Covid, Kenney and now Smith years is beyond me.
Thankfully we had a champion in the family docs corner.
If you ever need to find a refuge in the southwest corner of the province with or without your horses please feel free to contact me and my other illustrious colleagues retired or otherwise.
It would be a pleasure to see you again.
Thanks for your encouragement, Dorcas!
I miss our runs/visits at ACFP events! I would love to connect sometime and catch up. 🙂
