APEGA
SUCCESS THROUGH VOLUNTEERING What We’re Doing: Volunteering is a key component of self-regulation. APEGA leverages the expertise and enthusiasm of members just like you to guide us and support us in our regulatory and non-regulatory work. Much of this work goes on around the boardroom table, but we also need help with events designed to nurture the public’s understanding and imagination, when it comes to engineering, geoscience, and other facets of science and math. What You Can Do: Check out the volunteer opportuni- ties we’re currently offering. We can’t guarantee place- ment in the volunteer position you apply for, but we may be able to find another placement that interests you just as much. SUCCESS THROUGH BRANCH AND COUNCIL SERVICE What We’re Doing: We’re supporting our 10 branches in numerous ways, as they connect with their members through luncheons, professional development events, and other activities. Also, in support of the Nominating Committee and as directed by our legislation, APEGA’s staff seek nom- inations yearly for the annual Council election. Deadline for nominations for the 2019 election is September 27. What You Can Do : Consider serving on a branch executive. Branches are great stepping stones for further APEGA involvement, including service on Council. And if you are ready for the challenge, consider seeking a Council nomination. This column is only a partial description of how you can ramp up your engagement with APEGA.
