SPECIAL BALLOT
ASET and APEGGA have kept members informed and used their input for guidance
throughout the development of the “one Act, two Associations” regulatory
model.
Now, this new model is in members’ hands. It’s time for you to tell us whether you want the model to proceed.
ASET Council and APEGGA Council have each decided to conduct special ballots on the regulatory model. For APEGGA members, this ballot will be included in the ballot package for the annual mail-in election of Council.
This is your chance to vote in favour of or against the regulatory model described in the memorandum of understanding. Please, watch your mailbox for the ballot package and exercise your right. No APEGGA ballots received after April 8, 2007, will be considered. ASET and APEGGA are using exactly the same ballot question.
The verbatim text of the question appears in Council Briefs on page 12 of this edition of The PEGG.
Results will be announced on the website, in an e-PEGG and in The PEGG.
The two councils each unanimously endorsed the memorandum of understanding after a series of Discussion Team meetings, plus communiqués and FAQ lists to members to explain the proposal and seek their input. A Joint Town Hall Meeting — linking 10 sites across the province — convened Feb. 6, drawing questions from members of ASET and APEGGA at the sites and via the Internet. (view information online here)
The MOU, a video recording of the Joint Town Hall Meeting, a discussion paper, all communiqués and FAQs, the wording of the ballot — these and more information are available from the home page of the APEGGA website, www.apegga.org.
Also, starting on this page of The PEGG is the final set of FAQs, which the Discussion Team derived from the Joint Town Hall Meeting.
