The Association of Professional Executives of the Public Service of Canada is the exclusive organization representing the interests of the entire Executive Community across Canada, and abroad. We have the privilege of supporting thousands of executives on a range of topics of interest. We also offer retired executives the opportunity to stay connected with the community.

Joining APEX, or renewing your membership is easy. If you are eligible to become a member and would like to join the Association, please simply fill out the online form and send it to membership@apex.gc.ca.

Membership

A strong and active membership ensures that the Association’s voice continues to be heard on behalf of the entire executive community.

For an annual $95 membership fee, you have an unrivaled opportunity to work with your peers, through consultations and working groups, to shape the policies that determine your working conditions.

APEX welcomes executives from across the Public Service to join the Association (please see eligibility section below). The Association provides a forum through which the shared professional interests and concerns of the different segments of its membership can be identified and explored.

Once a year, APEX hosts a special event to honour newly appointed executives. With the help of the Clerk of the Privy Council, the heads of central agencies and deputy heads, APEX welcomes these new executives to the Public Service’s management team and to the Association.
