Chima Nkemdirim
A love of creativity has led this prolific board member to serve the arts community
The Vice President, Government Relations for Shaw Communications, Chima Nkemdirim is a born and raised Calgarian with a background in law, politics, and civic administration who just happens to be passionate about building Calgary’s arts community.
“I’m very much a Calgarian,” he says “I’m the son of immigrants who came from West Africa to Canada to build a better life for themselves, and build a great life for their kids. And I am fortunate that I’ve had a great life in this community. So, I’ve tried to help grow this community as I have grown with it.”
A prolific board member actively working to make Calgary a better place, he currently serves with the Calgary Foundation, Arts Commons, The Walrus, and Calgary Arts Development.
