Nominations Set for Election 2016
The self-nomination period is now over and the list of candidates for APEGA’s Election 2016 is set. In all, 11 APEGA Professional Members are seeking three-year terms on Council. Three other Members are in the running for President-Elect/Vice-President. Bylaw amendments approved in 2015 allowed APEGA’s Nomi- nating Committee to review all candidates (self-nominated as well as those it recommends) at the same time. The new process also allows the committee to identify those candidates that it endorses. This is significantly different than process used in past elections. Your new President will be Steve E. Hrudey, P.Eng., PhD, FEC, who will officially take office at the APEGA Annual General Meeting, April 22, 2016, in Edmonton. Dr. Hrudey was the successful President-Elect candidate in the 2015 election. Connie Parenteau, P.Eng., FEC, FGC (Hon.), will continue on the APEGA Executive as Past-President. Names of all 2016 candidates were announced in a December e-PEG, available online at apega.ca. Full candidate statements will be published in the spring edition of The PEG , to be distributed in February. The spring edition will also include complete voting information. In January, APEGA will post candidate and further voting and election information at apega.ca and in the Member Self- Service Centre, accessible through the APEGA website. Polling will be open: Friday, February 19, to Sunday, March 20, 2016
If you have questions about the election, please call us at 1-800-661-7020. During polling, we will have someone available to answer your questions 24/7. You can also email us anytime at elections@apega.ca and we will get back to you within two business days.
