PROGRESS AND RENEWAL
Next Steps in Creating a Great Nomination
NON-MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS • Polish and post your resume. It will be available online for voters to read, but it will not be published in The PEG. • Gather and submit any supporting documentation you think is important. This information will be available online for voters to read, but it will not be published in The PEG. • Have a video shot of you promoting yourself as a candidate. We recommend keeping it short and to-the-point – up to two minutes long. We will post the video online. Before your materials are accepted for publication and advancement to the Nominating Committee, APEGA will review them for professionalism and appropriateness. And now – get busy!
MANDATORY REQUIREMENTS • Reach out to 25 Professional Members in good standing to support your nomination. Let them know that they’ll be contacted electronically to confirm their support. • Find or have taken a print-quality photograph of yourself — a headshot. • Write a 750-word personal statement. Make sure it includes the information you think is important for voters to know about you. • To help the Nominating Committee in its review, write an explanation of why you want to run for Council. You can type it online or copy-and-paste it in, once the nomination site is open. • Also for the Nominating Committee’s review, rate various skills and attributes from 1 to 7 (1 being lowest, 7 being highest).
You’re certain that you’ve got the time, dedication, and personal attributes to be an effective participant in the governance of your professions. To top it off, you’ve got a skillset you know will be strategically useful to APEGA Council. All that adds up to you not only qualifying as a candidate and but also having a good chance of being endorsed by the Nominating Committee. So, what now? On July 10, you can start the actual process of uploading your nomination materials to the Member Self-Service Centre of apega.ca. It’s a step-by-step process with a save-draft function, and it requires thought and preparation. You’ll need to: • read all materials on the site • fulfill all mandatory requirements • consider the non-mandatory requirements and fulfill those you decide are important • work offline to get everything ready
