MASTER APEGA
APEGA is the largest association of self- regulated professionals in Western Canada, which speaks to how much our work affects the public. We each have a professional obligation to participate in the association to ensure that we maintain our competencies.
Practice Management Plan (PPMP) relevant to your organization’s professional practice.
ELECTION AND CONFERENCE SEASON Participating in the association also means participating in its activities, such as the annual election. This is your chance to vote for our new Councillors, a Vice-President, and a President-Elect. The election is already underway—it started on Friday, February 16, and it continues until Monday, March 19, at 12 noon. Take the time to review candidate statements and exercise your right to vote. The election occurs in advance of the APEGA Annual General Meeting , to be held this year in Edmonton on Friday, April 20. This is your opportunity to discuss issues important to the professions, to vote on matters brought forward by Council, and to propose motions for Council to consider. The agenda package will be posted online at least two weeks before the AGM. If you can, I also encourage to attend the professional development portion of our annual conference, held all day on April 19 and on the morning of April 20. We’re offering more than 20 sessions, so this a great way to keep abreast of changes to our professions and to the technology we use in our practices. Have you ever attended the Summit Awards? Capping off the first day of the conference on the evening of Thursday, April 19, the awards are your chance to learn about and celebrate the incredible accomplishments
