Message from the President
It has been a great privilege to help steward this organization over the past year as APEGA’s 105th president. I reflect on a year that has passed quickly, marked by efforts to address both longstanding and emergent challenges. What differentiates the tenure of APEGA’s presidents is often not the individual or the organization itself, but the circumstances in which we operate and our ability to capitalize on key opportunities to advance our professions. I feel one of our most significant achievements was simply honouring APEGA’s commitment to fostering open dialogue— internally, with our volunteers and staff members, and externally, with our registrants and partners in the Government of Alberta. The dedication and enthusiasm of those I met this past year have been an inspiration for me. The interactions I had with professionals were valuable reminders of the passion and innovation that drive us forward. I have particularly fond memories of time spent with students—in particular, students in one class at Keyano College in Fort McMurray whose curiosity and energy underscore a bright future of engineering and geoscience in Alberta. Collaborating with government Equally encouraging have been our discussions with the premier of Alberta and provincial cabinet. It has been my pleasure to engage in thoughtful discussions about the value engineers and geoscientists bring to Alberta, as well as how we work to improve the registration experience for internationally trained applicants.
