Clear, consistent approach to registrant consultation

The Engineers and Geoscientists BC Board recently approved a Registrant Consultation and Engagement Strategy that will guide how the organization collects and uses registrant feedback. The strategy sets a clear, consistent approach to when feedback is sought, what topics are open for input, and how feedback informs decisions. What we heard Throughout 2024 and 2025, we listened when registrants told us they want engagement to be consistent, transparent, and respectful of their time. They prefer low-barrier virtual formats like surveys, clear communication about the purpose of each initiative, and a closed feedback loop that shows how their input is used. This strategy reflects those expectations and formalizes our commitment to meeting them.

3. Close the feedback loop: clearly show how feedback is considered and how it informs decisions, so registrants can see the impact of their participation. A new hub for consultation As part of this work, we’ve launched a new Consultation and Engagement webpage. This page brings feedback and consultation activity together in one place, making it easier for registrants to: • Find current, past, and upcoming consultation opportunities; • Understand the purpose of each initiative and how feedback will be used; • Follow initiatives over time, including updates and outcomes; and, • Learn more about the Registrant Consultation and Engagement Strategy and how it guides this work.

What this means for registrants The strategy establishes a more predictable and coordinated approach to collecting feedback across the organization. Registrants can expect opportunities that are intentional, timely, and clearly connected to decision-making. The strategy is guided by three goals: 1. Engage on aligned topics of interest: create opportunities for feedback where registrant interest and expertise align with organizational priorities, so input is meaningful and relevant. 2. Tailor engagement methods to stated registrant preferences: use low barrier, virtual engagement channels (such as surveys and focus groups) with deeper engagement opportunities offered selectively for topics that require more nuanced input.
