Volunteer with APEGA

The Opportunity

APEGA is seeking applications for professional engineers, professional geoscientists and members-in-training to serve as volunteers on APEGA’s Yellowhead Branch Executive Committee. Volunteering with your local committee is a great way to get a better understanding of APEGA’s role and regulatory responsibilities—and it’s also a lot of fun! As a committee member, you have the opportunity to organize events ranging from locally relevant workshops and technical lectures to golf tournaments and networking evenings. Get to know other professionals in your region and bring local perspectives to APEGA as an ambassador for your community.

The Impact

Branch executive committees serve as conduits between registrants and APEGA Council and staff. By serving on your local executive committee, you’ll enhance the profile of the professions in your community, make APEGA aware of local successes and concerns, and advance strategic initiatives at the local level.

Time Commitment

Committees meeting 10 times per year, with some work required outside of meetings. Total commitment of approximately 2 – 10 hours per month.

Volunteers are encouraged to attend in-person orientation days in Edmonton on April 16th & 17th, 2026. Travel expenses will be covered.
