The Role of Council

Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of Council members to be informed of issues and trends affecting, or likely to affect, APEGNB, the professions or the public. Nominated Council members act as a liaison between Council and the registrants. Council members are expected to understand and monitor the Association’s financial affairs, and to ensure the Association is complying with all legal and regulatory requirements.
Meetings
The APEGNB Council meets six times per year. It is expected that Council members will make a reasonable effort to attend all meetings and be prepared by reading agendas, minutes, reports and other documentation required to actively participate.
