Dear APEGM Members:
Re: 2011 Nominations for Election to the APEGM Council
Do you want to make a difference to your Profession? Now's the time to get involved!
We are asking for your involvement by providing the APEGM Nominating Committee with the names of members who you think are able and willing to serve as an APEGM Councillor from October of 2011 until October of 2013. Perhaps even you yourself!
Please send your suggestions to the APEGM office by mail to the address below, by fax to (204) 474-5960, or by email to apegm@apegm.mb.ca. Persons submitting a recommendation are required to obtain the consent of the professional member being recommended and provide a curriculum vitae or biographical sketch.
The Nominating Committee will consider recommendations received up to the close of business on May 1, 2011. In the event insufficient recommendations are received, the Committee will recruit worthy candidates to insure that there are at least enough candidates to fill the vacancies.
APEGM is governed by a Council comprised of ten elected members and a minimum of two non-members independently appointed under the Act. This year there will be four vacancies for professional engineers and one vacancy for a professional geoscientist to be filled when the incumbents' terms expire in October of 2011.
Should you think of a worthy candidate after May 1, 2011, that member can still be nominated directly and be on the ballot for the 2011 election by the completion of the official nomination form, which includes the consent of the nominee. To be included on the ballot, candidate nominations must be received in the APEGM office before the close of business on Friday, September 16, 2011.
Each completed nomination form must also be accompanied by the nominee's resume and platform. Nomination and resume forms may be downloaded or may be obtained from the APEGM office.
Thanks for your time in considering this request,
John C. Woods, P.Eng.
Chair, APEGM Nominating Committee
Association of Professional Engineers & Geoscientists of the Province of Manitoba
