APEGA

number of Members each Permit Holder employs. The more Members employed by a Permit Holder, the higher the real and potential costs to APEGA, so we’ve come up with a more equitable approach to Permit Holder dues. It was also necessary to increase Member dues, which are still by far our largest source of income. These increases help ensure that the Association has the resources to become a better
regulator. We can’t afford not to improve, because the risks are too significant. These resourcing decisions were not reached easily. Every attempt was made to minimize the impact to our Members and Permit Holders, particularly in light of the downturn in the Alberta economy. I can assure Members that we are still looking for ways to reduce costs and increase efficiencies.
