Volunteer with APEGA

The Opportunity

The Women in APEGA Advisory Group, made up of members-in-training and professional women and men, supports APEGA in its goal of reaching at least 30% of women registrants in the engineering and geoscience professions by 2030 (the 30 by 30 initiative). Over the past decade, the group has made significant contributions to this objective and beyond. We are looking for more voices to continue this important conversation.  

The Impact

Are you driven to build community and advance diversity and inclusion within the professions? Now’s your chance. Volunteers in the Women in APEGA Advisory Group provide key recommendations to APEGA’s Registrar & Chief Executive Officer on how to achieve the 30 by 30 goal as well as on APEGA’s current initiatives working towards equity, diversity, and inclusion (EDI).
