It's time to elect a new executive and chapter volunteers at our Annual General Meeting after which you may network with your fellow engineers. EITs and engineering students are welcome and eligible for positions too except for Chair, Vice-Chair and Treasurer.

A number of keen engineers we have met at events and License Ceremonies have expressed an interest in getting involved with chapter activities. It's a great way to contribute your time and experience on the Chapter Executive to achieve our common goals and to further develop your own professional skills.
