About Tara Madden
Tara provides strategic guidance and expertise to PARA’s executive – including the CEO and Board of Directors – on strategy, policy development, governance, stakeholder relations and advancing PARA’s strategic objectives. With more than 10 years with PARA, Tara is a passionate advocate for excellence in residency training in Alberta.
A self-ascribed word nerd and newly minted policy wonk, Tara is also firmly anti-Oxford comma and relishes the chaos her impassioned – and controversial – stance brings. When not nerding and wonking, Tara is a keen reader, music aficionado, travel lover and hockey fan, and is the proud owner of a husband, two (mostly grown) children and an exceptionally fluffy Alaskan Malamute.
