APPI Council

Call for Nominations

The term of office for four (4) members of the Alberta Professional Planners Institute (APPI) Council will conclude at the next Annual General Meeting (AGM) and nominees are required to fill these Councillor positions.  These positions are for a two-year term commencing April 28, 2022.

In addition, nominees are also required for the position of President Elect, which consists of a four-year term commencing April 28, 2022, and includes one year as President Elect, two years as President and one year as Past President.

The APPI Nominating Committee is tasked with the duty of presenting the membership with a slate of nominees for vacant positions on Council, and the Committee is actively recruiting potential volunteers at this time.

APPI is committed to equity and diversity on APPI Council and in positions of influence and leadership within the Institute. The Institute welcomes nominations from individuals who identify as First Nations, Inuit, Métis, LGBTQ2S+, persons with disabilities, women and other marginalized or disadvantaged groups.   

Regulated members, either Registered Professional Planners (RPP) or Candidate members, may self-nominate or be nominated by others to serve on Council. Any number of Candidate members may be nominated for Councillor but no more than two Candidate members may serve at one time.  All nominees for Councillor must submit a completed Councillor Nominee Declaration Form or President Elect Nominee Declaration Form signed by two Regulated members, neither of whom may be the individual nominated, before the call for nominations closes.   

All nominations must be filed with the Nominating Committee via the APPI Office on or before Friday, February 25, 2022. Nominations may be submitted by email to [email protected], Attention: APPI Nominating Committee. 

If the number of nominees exceeds the number of vacant positions on Council, and/or the number of nominees for President Elect is two or more, ballots with voting instructions will be emailed in advance of the AGM to all APPI members eligible to vote with an electronic ballot link.

This year's AGM will be virtual on Thursday, April 28, 2022. Anyone considering serving on APPI Council should be aware that the 2022 APPI Council Strategic Retreat is scheduled for a weekend in late May or early June 2022. It has yet to be determined if the retreat will be hosted in-person or virtually, but there is an expectation that all members of Council participate in this Institute visioning exercise.

Thank you for your attention and participation in the governance of our professional Institute.
