Calgary Branch
Message from the Chair
On behalf of the Calgary Branch Executive Committee may we extend a very warm welcome to the Calgary Branch page. We appreciate this opportunity to serve the needs of our valued membership in the professions of engineering and geoscience.
The Calgary Branch is comprised of fifteen volunteer committee members with an extensive array of experience and backgrounds. Our role is to elevate the profile of the professions for the benefit of society, community, and the future of the Association. The committee undertakes numerous initiatives designed for engagement, by you our members, through a high-quality luncheon series, engaging outreach programs, inspiring professional development sessions, exciting social events, and our very successful annual golf tournament.
The reason these undertakings have achieved the success which they have in the past is due to your involvement, participation, and valued feedback. With that said your Calgary Branch Executive Committee is open to all of your ideas and suggestions. We very much welcome your contributions by volunteering on any of our subcommittees so please do not hesitate to connect and express your desire to assist in any of the programs.
Please accept this invitation to reach out, participate, and contribute in all of our events for ongoing success.
Branch Executive
APEGA’s branch executive committees are an integral part of APEGA operations and are governed by the branch manual. The committee includes up to 15 appointed volunteers, including members-at-large and five core positions: chair, past-chair, vice-chair, treasurer, and secretary. The branch chair is responsible for running the branch. To ensure consistency among branches, chairs from all branches meet quarterly to discuss branch governance and business.
