2021 APEGA Annual Report

APPEAL BOARD A panel of engineering and geoscience professionals on our Appeal Board hears appeals for decisions made by the Discipline and Investigative committees, the Practice Review Board, and the Board of Examiners. The panel decides if the committees and boards used a fair process and made a reasonable decision. In addition to an order from the Practice Review Board, appeals can be made for:

registration refusals

investigative dismissals

discipline decisions

Advanced adjudication training in 2021 provided Appeal Board members with further insight on decision-making impartiality and consistency. The training covered topics such as unconscious bias in decision-making and ended with a mock deliberation session.
