Protecting self-regulation
As we continue to navigate an ever-changing legislative climate, it is imperative that APEGA and our registrants recognize the commitment it takes to operate under a self-regulated framework. The continued success of our professions hinges on the collective wisdom of a diverse team of engineers and geoscientists on Council working together to provide sound, visionary governance. By voting in the annual election, you are a critical part of the process.
Taking the time to review the candidates and actively participate in the election process is more than a professional responsibility; it shows our commitment to protect and enhance the tenets of self-regulation. A well-informed vote ensures our Council remains robust and equipped with the expertise necessary to navigate any challenges.
