Board of Directors
APEX is governed by a board of fifteen directors, nine regular members from the National Capital Region, one regular member from each of the five regions and one associate member. Directors are elected by the members for a term of three years, commencing on the date of the Annual General Meeting and are eligible for one additional consecutive term of three years. The Executive Committee of the Board includes the Chair, Vice-Chair, Secretary, Treasurer and Officer-at-Large. The Board of Directors meets six to eight times a year and plays a key role in setting the organization’s strategic direction.
Annual General Meeting
Regular members and associate members of APEX are invited to participate in the Annual General Meeting, held in the Fall. The meeting includes a review of the accomplishments of the past year and the organization’s objectives for the year ahead, a presentation of the financial statements for the previous financial year, and the announcement of the results of the election of new directors to the Board of Directors. The AGM is a unique opportunity for members to put questions to the Chair of the Board of Directors, the Treasurer, the Secretary or the CEO.
The next APEX Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held in the Fall.
