Message from the Registrar & CEO
For more than 100 years, APEGA has built a strong reputation as one of Canada’s best regulators, and over the last year—my first with this great organization—we have striven to sustain century- long standards. It was a year of simultaneous transition: a new role for me and a new legislative era for APEGA. Taking on this leadership role has felt like a natural progression for me. Of course, there are notable differences between conducting military engineering, performing deputy minister responsibilities, and overseeing regulatory processes, but one constant throughout my career has been a duty to serve the public. Although I’ve been an engineer for a long time, the last true engineering job I had was with the Canadian Armed Forces in 2008. Since then, I’ve worked more generalist jobs, including with the provincial government as a deputy minister, and that work undoubtedly eased my transition into the role at APEGA. But being welcomed here, and getting back to my engineering roots, has truly energized me throughout my first year as registrar and chief executive officer. Collaborative work with APEGA Council Some of that energy came from seeing our high-functioning APEGA Council in action. Although council sets APEGA’s strategy, it’s our job as the executive leadership team to translate it into action for our registrants, and the synergy between the two groups was clear from my first council meeting.
