I am grateful to my respected fellow Members who have supported my nomination for the 2016 APEGA Council election. I have a personal interest to contribute to our professions, a passion to serve the membership community, and a strong desire to make a difference. That is why I volunteer for APEGA. I am currently serving as a Chair of the APEGA Edmonton Branch and have attended several Council meetings as
an observer. I understand the responsibility and commitment required for a Councillor’s position. I am ready to broaden my scope of work and look forward to effectively serving the APEGA membership. APEGA is a leading self-regulatory organization in Canada. As a self-regulator, we exist to protect and serve the public interest, as well as the integrity and honour of the professions. We should expand the scope of licensed practice through more proactive enforcement, professional standards, and aligning ourselves with emerging disciplines and modern technologies. I have a great working relationship with APEGA Council Members, staff, and volunteers. I am honoured to work with so many dedicated professionals who are committed to give back to our professions. I have earned valuable experience by serving in different positions at the Edmonton Branch. As a Member of the ongoing legislative review champions collaborative, I am committed to working with APEGA staff and volunteer Members to complete the task of revising and updating the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Act, Regulations and Bylaws. I believe in good governance and administration, and in APEGA’s Strategic Plan. Most importantly, I believe in supporting our volunteer Members, who are providing valuable services to our professions at various committees, branches, boards, and task forces. As a Councillor, my priorities will be to work with fellow Council Members to: • improve the Association’s operational efficiencies and fiscal management • increase Members’ and Permit Holders’ involvement in decision-making processes • elevate our public profile through community and educational outreach activities • engage provincial and municipal government stakeholders through active working partnerships It is time that we work together and take strategic actions to ensure continued success of all practising Professional Engineers and Professional Geoscientists in Alberta. You can make a difference with your vote by supporting me as an APEGA Councillor.
