INNOVATION January-February 2016

c ommun i t y Members Benefit from Volunteering

Shape the Next Generation of Professionals By mentoring and guiding—whether as a mentor in the mentoring program or by bringing a mentoring attitude to a committee—you can help and influence future professionals. Learn and Develop Skills Each volunteer position or group specific to the industries provides informal opportunities for development. APEGBC also provides opportunities for volunteer training, including effective meeting chairing, and support and decision- making skills. Innovate APEGBC values and strives for innovation; contribute your ideas for the future. Connect With Colleagues Volunteering on committees and in program areas allows you to meet and get to know colleagues from a variety of backgrounds. “In 2014 I retired and was looking for ways to give back to the community,” says long-time member Glen Parker, P.Eng. “The APEGBC volunteer program was one excellent way to do this. The Science Games, Math Competitions and school speaking events were well organised and very rewarding. The kids were great, and the teachers were very appreciative and reinforced the need for engineers to get into the classroom. The big events also focused on the volunteers allowing time to get to know each other, leading to new contacts, both personal and professional.” Visit apeg.bc.ca/For-Members/Volunteer for current volunteer opportunities. v

The new year is a great time to establish new resolutions— including some that don’t require a treadmill. APEGBC volunteers are coming back from the holidays refreshed and gearing up for a fulfilling 2016. Many of the association’s volunteer groups are looking for new members of all disciplines and levels of experience. Aside from a great way to expand your professional network, joining an APEGBC committee or volunteer program presents many opportunities and benefits. Give Back to Your Profession and Industry Share your expertise to improve all aspects of the industries and professions of engineering and geoscience. Gain Experience Junior professionals can gain valuable experience and guidance from more senior professionals.
