ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

Become involved in the business of your association. Vote on matters that are brought before the council, hear about issues of importance relating to APEGGA and the professions and present motions for consideration by Council. The Annual General Meeting Luncheon follows the AGM.

APEGGA invites organizations to enter into a special relationship with us. Sponsorship of the Annual Conference gives your organization the opportunity to reinforce its image within the engineering and geoscience communities, and at the same time assist APEGGA in staging a successful conference.

APEGGA has developed a variety of sponsorship levels for the Annual Conference. Your organization can select a level that reflects your stature in the engineering and geoscience community and your commitment to the professional you employ. All sponsorship levels now include the Summit Awards ®. For more information call (780) 426-3990, 1-800-661-7020, or e-mail Barb Robinson at brobinson@apegga.org

Thursday, April 21
Fun Night – 1920s Speakeasy
6:00-10:00 p.m.
Crystal Ballroom, Fairmont Palliser Hotel

Join us for a look back to the time of APEGGA’s inception, the 1920s, when life was much simpler. No computers, e-mail or voicemail! Experience the roaring 20s in our speakeasy. Go back to the time of bathtub gin, smoky jazz and the move from silent films to “talkies”. Have a chance at winning some great prizes by dressing in period costume (visit the APEGGA website at www.apegga.org/AC2005 for costume ideas.)

Dress: casual/period costume (optional)
