Jonathan Matthews, P.Eng.
Personal Statement
I feel a deep sense of responsibility to work collaboratively to seek out, develop, and deliver solutions that will enable a better balance between the effects of human activities, societal well-being, and the environment. I firmly believe we need to adapt to use natural resources more wisely while deploying innovative technologies that mitigate societal impacts. We also need significant societal changes to deliver true sustainability. Within this context I firmly believe APEGA is especially well positioned to enhance and facilitate development and deployment of solutions that will reduce our impacts on the soil, water, and air, while still harnessing and distributing the affordable energy so critical to comfort and economic well-being. Our APEGA mandate is to make ethical and skilled decisions that protect and serve the public. it seems self-evident that our 60,000- plus members have the potential to punch above our weight in shaping the future and brightening the prospects of future generations through courageous leadership in innovation. On this front I am highly motivated to work with all APEGA members to create a critical mass of professionals
so that we can advance in a more coordinated and distinctive manner.
