Registrar & CEO's Message
APEGA
Make yourself an APEGA election champion. Let your professional peers know what the candidates are saying. Direct them to information on the issues APEGA faces. If you’re comfortable doing so, tell them who you’re voting for and why.
statements appear on apega.ca and in this edition of The PEG . The statements this year are short and direct. They’re less about what candidates have done and more about who they are now. We’ve had candidates answer identical questions, too, so you can find out even more about their approaches and positions. We’re offering two chances to meet the candidates in person. If you have the time in your schedule, considering attending one of our Coffee & Conversation events. Dates are February 20 in Edmonton and February 27 in Calgary, at our office in each city.
Of course, in this digital age there are other ways to connect, too. Look for your candidates on social media. Ask them questions. Post comments on their discussion strings. We’ve improved the voting system itself, too. It’s better and simpler, this year. You use your regular login procedures in our Member Self-Service Centre. No unfamiliar starting point or designs. If you do run into trouble, you can contact our 24-hour help line. No matter what I write or say, some members won’t vote. Empathy and lack of engagement exist in any society and any organization; APEGA is no different.
