BRANCH ENGAGEMENT
Our 10 branches—and the volunteers who run them— help members stay connected with APEGA and each other through activities like networking luncheons and industry tours. Most branch events moved online during the pandemic. This made it easier to reach more professionals, especially those in rural communities. Event attendance jumped by 281 per cent in 2021.

MEMBER BENEFITS AND DISCOUNTS We have partnered with more than 20 companies and organizations to offer members discounts on personal, financial, insurance, travel, and other services. New and enhanced programs in 2021 provided added value to members who took advantage of the savings. The number of overall discounts used in 2021 jumped to 22,194, up from 18,688 in 2020. Home and auto insurance and wireless rate plans remain our most popular programs—members who signed up with The Personal Insurance Company saved an average of 30 per cent on their bill, and those who signed up with Rogers Wireless saved up to 32 per cent.
