Lakeland Branch
Message from the Chair
Welcome to the Lakeland Branch! We engage members in our communities by delivering outreach and activities in line APEGA's strategic mission.
We strive to be our members' voice to APEGA and APEGA's voice in our community. We also provide professional development opportunities, help build networks among members, and host fun social events to help foster a sense of community within our professions and region. Furthermore, we support educational events such as science nights and a Science Olympics that bring together students from across our region – inspiring the engineers and geoscientists of tomorrow.
At the core of our branch are numerous volunteers who dedicate their time to ensuring the success of the branch and who have a passion for our professions. Please contact us if you have any questions about APEGA, want to know more about branch events, or if you want to get involved. We look forward to seeing you at our events!
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.
