Give Geoscientists The Right to Vote!!!

By Andrea Waldie, P. Geo.
APGO Executive Director & Registrar


Wait a minute, they already have the vote! GET GEOSCIENTISTS TO USE THE VOTE!

As a registered professional geoscientist in Ontario you have the right to vote in the Association of Professional Geoscientists of Ontario elections. Your vote helps select the individuals who will represent you on your APGO Council. When you vote, you chose the individual who will give voice to your opinions and ideals at Council; the individual, on your behalf, will help guide the APGO. Your vote does matter.

For this 2008 APGO election year, the APGO Vice President and the Councilor-at-Large positions were filled by acclamation; the Non-member position was re-appointed, and there are two nominees for Councilor of the Northwestern Ontario Region. Only members in the Northwestern Ontario Region will be receiving ballots because the Northwest Region is the only area in which a vote is required this year. The results of that vote will be made known to all APGO members at the Annual General Meeting on June 5, 2008 and then posted to the APGO website.

For those in the Northwest Region, I invite you to exercise your right to vote in the APGO 2008 election year. Make your voice heard on Council. For all other APGO members, please exercise your right to vote in the APGO elections whenever the opportunity presents itself. Your opinion counts.
