BOARD NEWS

BOARD MEETING HIGHLIGHTS: JUNE 20, 2025 Engineers and Geoscientists BC’s Board of elected registrants and public representatives meets throughout the year. The following are the highlights of its June 20, 2025, meeting. Individual audits rate stays the same The Board agreed to keep the percentage of individual registrants randomly selected for a compliance audit in the 2026 fiscal year (July 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026) at one percent as it has been over the past two fiscal years. Stuart Nash, P.Eng., Manager of Individual Audits and Practice Reviews, noted that maintaining the current selection rate allows audit assessors to work on continuous improvement for the programs and address audit trends for all registrants. Organizational Climate Change Strategy approved The Board approved Engineers and Geoscientists BC’s Organizational Climate Change Strategy (OCCS). The OCCS advances Engineers and Geoscientists BC’s public interest mandate under the Professional Governance Act while operationalizing the Strategic Plan and updated Climate Change Position Statement.

Building Trust with Registrants Project update The Board received an update on the organization’s Building Trust with Registrants project, which is led by the Communications team.
