A Brief Introduction to the Candidates It’s time to start getting to know your candidates. This edition contains bullet points on each of them, and in the next edition, we’ll provide small biographies and candidate answers to identical sets of questions. You’ll also be able to watch candidate videos online. Of course, you can do your own research. Follow candidates on social media. Reach out to them and engage them in discussions on the regulatory issues that matter to you. All told, that should give you plenty of information to decide which candidates will get your vote. APEGA’s online election takes place from February 11 to March 14, 2019. You’ll be able to place up to five votes in all: one for President, four for Council. The candidate for President who receives the most votes will serve in 2019-2020 as President-Elect. The second- place finisher will serve as Vice-President. Note: the President for the 2019-2020 term was elected earlier this year, in APEGA Election 2018. Your incoming President is George Eynon, P.Geo., FGC, FEC (Hon.). Mr. Eynon officially advances from President-Elect to President at the APEGA Annual General Meeting, April 26, 2019, in Calgary. In the Council portion of the election, the top four will join Council. Sometimes, to make sure there’s a full complement of elected members on Council, more than the top four are elected.
