Canadian Hidradenitis Suppurativa Foundation (CHSF)

When CHSF’s previous administrators exited association management, BUKSA stepped in to provide comprehensive strategic and operational support. Within just two years, CHSF underwent a transformation—modernizing operations, boosting visibility, and expanding its reach within the dermatology community.

BUKSA’s Impact:

  • Governance & Financial Clarity: Updated bylaws and introduced transparent governance practices alongside streamlined financial management and regular reporting.

  • Revenue Growth: Enhanced sponsorship and funding strategies resulted in increased annual revenues to better support CHSF’s initiatives.

  • Marketing & Awareness: Elevated the foundation’s public and professional profile through a refreshed website, original video content, targeted social media campaigns, and coordination of HS Awareness Week.

  • Educational Impact: Expanded digital tools and resources for healthcare professionals—improving access to knowledge and strengthening CHSF’s role as a trusted source for HS clinical education.

BUKSA’s proactive, mission-aligned approach has empowered CHSF to grow its impact, engage more effectively with its stakeholders, and drive forward its goal of improving care for patients living with HS.

Alberta Society of Gastroenterology

When ASG partnered with BUKSA, the organization was managed by busy physicians and lacked the infrastructure for long-term growth. BUKSA introduced structure, strategy, and systems—building a fully functioning association office and a powerful digital presence.

BUKSA’s Impact:

  • Revenue Growth: Pioneered a sponsorship and fundraising model that increased annual revenue from $80K to over $335K—a 319% increase from 2015 to 2023.

  • Conference Expansion: Grew the ASG’s flagship event, the Alberta Digestive Disease Summit, from 100 to 500+ registrants, while introducing multidisciplinary programming and family-friendly events.

  • Digital Evolution: Launched an integrated website and membership platform, streamlining communication and content delivery, while supporting a growing digital marketing strategy.

  • Governance and Advocacy: Supported the ASG Board with updated bylaws, strategic planning, and clear governance—enabling effective advocacy and collaboration with the Alberta Medical Association.

  • Membership Diversification: Expanded engagement to include associate members such as nurses and fellows, developed a bursary program, and launched an educational webinar series.

BUKSA’s leadership has helped shape ASG into a resilient, growing, and strategically aligned professional community - empowering its members and elevating its influence across the province.

Alberta Society of Dermatology

When ASD partnered with BUKSA in 2021, the association faced low member engagement and was managed by a small group of physicians and support staff, with limited infrastructure and oversight.

BUKSA’s Impact:

  • Strategic Transformation: Introduced formalized processes, updated bylaws, and implemented transparent governance—building long-term stability and renewed member trust.

  • Membership Revival: Launched engagement strategies, revamped communications, refreshed the website, and reenergized the annual meeting.

  • Innovative Recognition: Created new member initiatives, including an annual Award of Recognition, celebrating leadership within Alberta’s dermatology community.

  • Financial Growth: Increased sponsorship revenue by 92% (from $32.5k to $62.5k in just three years), while designing new strategic funding models.

With BUKSA as its backbone, ASD has emerged as a revitalized organization - more connected, strategic, and positioned for future growth.

    John H.

  • “It wasn't until we met with BUKSA that we realized how much we were under-utilizing events to connect with our customers. Regularly hosting BUKSA-run events, our client retention rate has never been better."
