STATEMENT
I am very pleased to accept the Nominating Committee’s
nomination for the position of Director. I strongly believe
in the need and importance of a member advocacy body to help
raise the profile of the engineering profession and to bring
forward member related issues. As Past President of OSPE and
my work in consulting engineering, I have a realistic view
of the challenges engineers face in getting recognition and
remuneration for their important contribution to society.
With your support and my commitment to work on your behalf,
we can continue to build a strong advocacy body that responds
to our members needs, provides effective leadership and generates
positive results.
