APEGS Connect

Introducing APEGS Connect, the Member Survey Panel

In November, APEGS invited members to participate in APEGS Connect, an online survey platform for members to provide a breadth of input on a variety of topics.

Like any other volunteer opportunity with APEGS, participants receive continuing professional development credits for their time — in this case, the time it takes them to respond to surveys.

Member feedback is used to guide APEGS’ considerations in planning and operations. So far, APEGS has conducted surveys to:

  • invite participants to nominate members for APEGS awards and suggest people and projects to profile in this issue of The Professional Edge.
  • understand member preferences for professional development at PD days and the annual meeting and conference.
  • gauge member awareness about the Continuing Professional Development (CPD) program and reporting requirements.
  • determine member support for reducing the number of print issues of The Professional Edge and introducing monthly e-bulletins.
  • identify if members prefer the Law and Ethics seminar online or in-person.

Thanks to the 997 members who participate on APEGS Connect, there were many more awards nominations and suggestions for Profiles in Achievement than previous years.

APEGS has also received hundreds of responses to other survey questions to help APEGS better understand member preferences and make informed decisions.

New members are needed on an annual basis to refresh the group. To influence the future through your thoughts and opinions, consider volunteering on APEGS Connect.

If you have selected in your online profile that you wish to volunteer with APEGS, you may be contacted to participate in APEGS Connect for a one-, two-, or three-year term as part of a representative sample of APEGS members.
