Association and in so doing reflect upon the question – Why APEGGA? As part of the
discussion, APEGGA President Jim Beckett, P.Eng., will address the role of a selfregulating
professional Association in the 21st Century, the implementation of the One
Act, Two Associations regulatory model with ASET and some thoughts on how we as
professionals contribute to the engineering of an engineer or the formation of a
geoscientist.
