FOR PRESIDENT (2020-2021 Term)
Tim Joseph, P.Eng., PhD
Personal Statement
As a professional engineer, educator, and strategic leader in volunteer organizations for 20 years, most recently serving APEGA as a Councillor and the Vice-President, I continue to advocate for transparency, ethical honesty, empathy, knowledge enhancement, and courage to change. With two decades of governance, fiduciary, membership and outreach volunteer activity, I have heard the concerns of APEGA members. Albertans are aware of APEGA—but largely unaware of what engineers and geoscientists actually do. I will move APEGA forward to better communicate to Albertans, especially in trusted assurance of those licensed under APEGA for services. Our 2020 Centennial places APEGA under the spotlight. APEGA must clearly demonstrate the highest standards of its members to the public. Members need to find value in volunteering: branch activities, statutory boards, and running for APEGA Council. I will commit to moving APEGA to deliver on value- driven volunteering and participation. APEGA members continue to find CPD challenging, especially formal activity. I will commit to moving APEGA forward in establishing CPD opportunities directly tied to members’ discipline focuses. In an era when the viability of self-regulation in Canada is questioned, a priority is moving the EGP
Act regulatory changes through approval to assure APEGA’s continued relevance as a self-regulator. I will commit to moving APEGA towards being a stronger, transparent regulator. I am seeking your support and faith to move APEGA forward. I value your trust, I will make the time and the commitment needed, and I look forward to the challenge and change.
