APEGA NEWS
It takes public and professional service at the gover- nance level to make APEGA’s self-regulatory model work. Is this a type of volunteerism you qualify for? Or do you know of other professional members you think should run? The current APEGA Council is a few months into its year, yet the process of renewing it in 2020 is already underway. Nominations open August 19 in the search for qualified candidates to seek seats in our centennial year election. APEGA accepts nominations electronically. Full infor- mation about the process and what you need to do will be posted on APEGA.ca before the start of the nomination pe- riod, which continues for almost six weeks until September 26. We’ll distribute links on social media and in electronic newsletters, once the site begins accepting nominations. An APEGA election takes place the first quarter of every year, renewing Council by filling at least four of 12 Council seats. Voters also elect a President-Elect, who advances to the presidency the following year, and a Vice- President. The APEGA Nominating Committee makes sure those putting their names forward qualify. The committee may even recommend you. Recommended candidates meet specific needs identified as important to Council. These needs change year to year, based on the challenges of the day and the gaps left as terms of Councillors end. Appearing on the next pages is more information about putting your name forward.
