Nominating Committee

As part of the APEGA Council election, the Nominating Committee is responsible for ensuring APEGA voters are presented with a slate of candidates whose knowledge, skills, and attributes have been assessed through a transparent, formal, and structured process, and ideally who are broadly reflective of APEGA registrants.

The committee has between five and seven members:

three to five professional members or licensees of APEGA
one to three lay members from the general public

Committee members should demonstrate an acute understanding of APEGA’s role as a self-regulating body; have experience identifying, selecting, and evaluating nominees; and show a commitment to the principles of equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Duties

Review and understand the competencies needed for Council as a whole
Conduct a gap analysis to determine priorities for candidate skills and experience
Oversee the process of receiving nominations from the membership at large
Ensure candidates running for Council are qualified
Assess nominees using a structured competency-based approach
Identify candidates to appear on the election ballot
