Annual Conference

THE ASET ISSUE
APEGGA to Make Presentation
to Standing Policy Committee

As many of you are already aware, the recently renamed Association of Science and Engineering Technology Professionals in Alberta (ASET) has requested legislation that will empower it to license applied science, information and engineering technologists to practice technology independently in Alberta.

APEGGA and nine other professional regulators, known as the Pro10, will be responding to both the name change and to ASET’s request for legislation.

WHERE ART MEETS SCIENCE

APEGGA is calling all artists (providing their members or their families) to display their creations during the Annual Conference. If you want to participate in this great showcase of APEGGA talent, you need to register by April 5.

For more information, contact Kirsten Milner, Public Relations Coordinator, at kmilner@apegga.org, 1-800-661-7020, or 780-426-3990, ext. 2367.

AboriginalsABORIGINALS AND APEGGA

If Aboriginals were represented in our professions to the same extent they are in the Alberta mosaic, APEGGA would have about 3,000 Aboriginal members. That’s not the case, however – the Association believes the total is fewer than 100. Is there something you can do to help bring more Aboriginals into the engineering and geoscience fold?
